The Countess extended her lily-white fingers, and Babette kissed them as well, but timidly; for she feared a rebuff. Just at this moment a noise of scratching and miewing was heard at the window. Babette flew to open it, and in walked what do you think? seven cats with their tails in the air rubbing themselves comfortably against the window-pane.
"Trade your soul off for a pair of ear-bobs and a button-hook a hank of jute hair and a box of lily-white! I've buried not less than ten old chums this way, and here's another nominated for the tomb."

But these things are not dead. Old-fashioned wrath is over gone to its long home: love is not even wrinkled. Yet again it was before wrath...
"The girl was all broke up. She had a handkerchief to her face, and kept saying every little bit, 'Oh, father, father! She walked up to me and laid her lily-white hand on the clothes that had pained her at first. I smelt a million violets. She was a lulu. I told her I came in a private yacht. "'Mr. O'Day, she says.
