Rosemary Green was naturally sweet-tempered and exceedingly charitable in her judgements; but here, too, the cat-and-dog feud had its influence. Rosemary Green was a loyal champion of the cat Compadre; besides, there was a succession of little irritations, in the way of dishes left unwashed and inconspicuous corners left unswept, to warp her opinion of Annie-Many-Ponies.
Wrenn. And Nelly: "That's so." The whole table nodded gravely, "Yes, that's so." "I'm sure" Istra smiled at Mrs. Arty "that it's because a woman is running things. Now think what cat-and-dog lives you'd lead if Mr. Wrenn or Mr. Popple, was it? were ruling." They applauded. They felt that she had been humorous.
