She was frightened as well as angry, for she really had a strange fear of the big cat. "I'm not laughing," Colin began again, looking quite serious. "I had to give you Manchon's message." Rosy looked at Bee. If there had been the least shadow of a smile on Bee's face it would have made her still more angry. But Beata looked grave, because she felt so.
I wonder your mamma likes Manchon if he has such an unkind dis I can't remember the word, it means feelings, you know." "Never mind," said Rosy, patronisingly, "I know what you mean. Oh, its only me Manchon's nasty to, and that doesn't matter. I'm not the favourite. I was at my aunty's though, that I was but it has all come true what Nelson told me," and she shook her head dolefully.

"If you like," said Rosy, "but he isn't really a nice cat." And then, seeing that Beata looked at her with curiosity, she forgot about listening to the big people, and, getting up, led Beata to Manchon's cushion.
