You probably have cursed me out before Fleckenstein as you did before him and Ames!" "And there was my trying to help Jane Ames in the valley!" cried Pen suddenly. "She's talking with the farmers' wives for Jim and I went with her until the women were cattish. Oh, Jim, what have we done to you, Sara and I?" "I shall have to give up the fight a little earlier, that is all," answered Jim.
"That's promise enough for me," he cried, and put out his arms toward her. She struck down his hands, and protested with sudden, cattish energy: "Let me alone. Don't you come so near me. I don't like it. Now you can go," she added. "I have got a lot to think about." He thought he would not spoil his success by staying. "Good-by, then," he said, kissing his fingers to her.
There's no need to work and worry into a sweat. He won't notice or care how things look." "I miss my guess if he doesn't notice and care very much indeed," said mother emphatically. "Men are not blind. No one need think they don't see when things are not as they should be, just because they're not cattish enough to let you know it, like a woman always does.
Fools and blockheads! just because I've got a banking account that would buy half of them up, and never miss it. As if I didn't know, when I'm in that mood, I'm a cattish little spitfire!..." "So you came home to worry us?..." and the pleasure in his face was suddenly illuminating.
Her imprudence and impudence was fortunately drowned by the general murmur of objection that went up from the girls of the club. That Miss Carrington's suggestion met with general objection was so plain that even the stern woman herself must have realized it. "Of course," she said, really "cattish," "you girls would prefer something silly."
But she was not asleep; and, moreover, she was watching Glumdalkin, who had settled herself very comfortably on her cushion, while Friskarina, looking much graver than usual, was sitting with her shoulders drawn up to her ears, in quite an old cattish attitude, and her bright shining eyes fixed thoughtfully on the fire.
Chilton, "that when the driver of these dog carts cries 'Cats' Meat, all the cats look out from their holes and hiding-places for their accustomed piece." "We," said Harry, "give pussy something out of our plates all cooked and nice, and so I suppose she is a better cat, and less cattish." I dare say you know that there are a great variety of dogs.
Pachuca swung lightly out of the window and with a very cattish agility caught the sill with both hands and lowered himself. He looked down. It was the devil of a drop. Ten chances to one he would turn an ankle at the very least. He made a wry face. One does not do things successfully when one does them in this frame of mind.
These are, all of them, human as well as cattish faults; but, if pussy has in her the capacity for something better, for self-forgetting and devoted affection, we must treat her with such patient, enduring kindness and perfect justice as may cherish all that is good in her nature. In short, can we not overcome her evil by our good? Let us try, boys!
He had brought up one of the dinghy's oars on his shoulder as a sort of plaything or vaulting-pole. Suddenly, asking Pauline if she had ever seen him balance an oar on his chin, he proceeded to perform the feat, much to her amusement. In doing so he turned his back completely on the savage in ambush, whose cattish grin increased as the boy staggered about.
