"What a pretty cat!" I said, at last. The said cat, a beauty, was lying on the hearthrug. "Isn't it a beauty, love?" said Nurse Bundle; "and look, my dear, at your own little dog lying as good as gold in the rocking-chair, and not so much as looking at puss." Rubens did not quite deserve this panegyric.
"Tom's a fool," said George, with emphasis, "but he isn't a coward. He'd just as soon tell Pa to-morrow that he was drilling if the Yankee leaders wished it known." "Virginia will never speak to him again," said Eugenie, in an awed voice. "Pooh!" said Puss, "Tom never had a chance with Jinny. Did he, George? Clarence is in high favor now.
He was very well versed in irony, and everything that evening seemed to him ironical. The episode of the cat; the announcement of his own daughter's engagement. So he had no more part or parcel in her than he had in the Puss! And the poetical justice of this appealed to him. "What is June like now?" he asked.
But if you ain't a-goin' to tell me about the runaway I'll just leave my eggs and step over and see Miss Puss Jenkins. Miss Puss will talk to anybody, anywhere, day or night.

But the carriage rolled along, and took no notice of puss; and the rumbling of the wheels soon died away, and all was quiet again. What a melancholy long day it seemed! and, moreover, she could hardly catch a bird they all seemed to fly away from the trees, instead of settling upon them; and puss had really hard work to get any dinner at all that day. And then the night was so cold again.
Austen Chamberlain on his very successful speech.

It was a graceful, generous, feeling tribute, but it did not soften Mr. Chamberlain the same steady unlifting frown was there the same "puss" and when Mr.
They were followed, and it was observed, that whenever the pointer scented the hare, the ring was dropped, and the greyhound stood ready to pounce upon poor puss the moment the other drove her from her form, but that he uniformly returned to assist his companion after he had caught his prey. A Sense of Ridicule.

Sam and Puss were both blinking their eyes in the shade of the lightwood, and whisking the flies from their ears.
