"Oh, yes, mother," interrupted Susie; "and, don't you think, sometimes Annie would pull pussy's tail and make her say 'Mew, and we made believe that one of the little girls cried to go to her mother." "Yes," said Annie, "and after a while we made believe she was naughty, and sent her home."
"Nonsense!" replied Mr. Wibblewobble, "burglars don't mew. I'll go look." So he went to look, and what do you think he found? Why, right under a vase of the pussy willows, on a cushion, was a dear, sweet, little white kitten. Yes, sir, as true as I'm telling you! And so soon as Lulu saw it she cried: "It's mine! One of my pussy willows has turned into a kittie! Oh, how glad I am!"
First of all an osprey sounds the prelude, above my head and so close to me that it holds me trembling throughout its long cry. Then other voices answer from the depths of the ruins, voices very diverse, but all sinister. Some are only able to mew on two long-drawn notes: some yelp like jackals round a cemetery, and others again imitate the sound of a steel spring slowly unwinding itself.
But there was no reason for fear. The cats were most amiably disposed. "Mew!" said the one on the right-hand chair. "Mew!" said the one on the left-hand chair. Then they looked at each other for a moment, and at last, seeming to have made up their minds, each held out his right paw.
When Roland Graeme was a youth about seventeen years of age, he chanced one summer morning to descend to the mew in which Sir Halbert Glendinning kept his hawks, in order to superintend the training of an eyas, or young hawk, which he himself, at the imminent risk of neck and limbs, had taken from the celebrated eyry in the neighborhood, called Gledscraig.

'And now farewell, continued the rat; 'you have a long way to go, and will do well to start before daybreak. 'Your counsel is good, replied the cat, smiling to itself; and putting the stone in her mouth she went off to seek the falcon.
Two streams known as the Cad and the Mew join to form this river, and though they are of about equal importance, the source of the Cad is generally regarded as the true Plym head, while a crossing upon it is known as the Plym Steps. Both are rocky, dashing mountain-streams, and such are also the characteristics of the Plym after the junction until it enters its estuary.
But, aware at the instant of a fine opening for a point, Mr Boffin quenched that observation in this delivered in the grisliest growling of the regular brown bear. 'A pretty and a hopeful picter? Mew, Quack quack, Bow-wow! And then trotted silently downstairs, with his shoulders in a state of the liveliest commotion.
"I am sure the Trumpeter is tired of playing so many tunes for us." "All right! Tag will be fun!" agreed the China Cat. "I'll be it. Scatter now, so I shall have to run to tag you." The toys spread themselves about the shelves of Mr. Mugg's shop, and the China Cat, whose shiny coat was as white as snow, was just getting ready to run after the Trumpeter when suddenly the toy pussy gave a loud mew.
In the meantime, the fire with which Hamlet's soul had been seized, is gone, like a flash of lightning. He changes to another point of view probably that one according to which everything goes its way in compliance with a heavenly decree.
