The narrator is apalled that the louse has chosen its present location. Before that he says that he cared nothing for it at all, and assumed a 'live and let live' type of feeling toward it. However, when he sees it on a fine lady's hat, he becomes disgusted by the louse and upset that it would choose to be there.
