"She say, she say: 'Di'n I tell you take them cats downstairs an' clean 'em? she say. I ain't nobody's cat-washwoman!" Florence was becoming more and more interested. "I should think that would be kind of fun," she said. "To be a cat-washwoman. I wouldn't mind that at all: I'd kind of like it. I expect if you was a cat-washwoman, Kitty Silver, you'd be pretty near the only one was in the world.
"He don' hate 'em no wuss'n whut I do," said Kitty Silver. "An' he ain't got to ketch 'em lookin' at him outen of his kitchen sink an' he ain't fixin' to be no cat-washwoman neither!" "Are you fixing to?" Florence asked quickly. "You don't need to do it, Kitty Silver. I'd be willing to, and so'd Herbert. Wouldn't you, Herbert?" Herbert deliberated within himself, then brightened.

No'm, Miss Julia, ma'am, I say 'no'm, Miss Julia, ma'am, I ain't no cat-washwoman!" "What did Aunt Julia say then?"
"What you got there, Kitty Silver?" she asked. "What I got where?" "In that basket." "Nemmine what I got 'n 'at basket," said Mrs. Silver crossly, but added inconsistently: "I dess wish somebody ast me what I got 'n 'at basket! I ain't no cat-washwoman fer nobody!" "Cats!" Florence cried. "Are there cats in that basket, Kitty Silver? Let's look at 'em!"
