Nought shall make us rue, If England to herself do rest but true. So says that knave Will Shakespeare. Edward, thou here again? I thought the queen held thee in durance?" "She did, my lord admiral," returned Devereaux. "But think you that I was to be mewed up like a girl when England had need of me? I trow not!"

"Oh, dear me!" exclaimed Alexia discontentedly, "now we're mewed up here when we might be in that dear old sweet dump, Polly Pepper; and all because we're girls." "Well, we can't help it," said Polly, with a sigh, who wished very much sometimes that she might be a boy, "so we'd much better keep at work hunting for that ten-dollar bill, Alexia."
"Think what would happen if you hit the floor!" "Oh, I don't dare think of it!" mewed the China Cat, with a shudder. "I should be broken to bits!" So after that the Cat did not run quite so fast. Topsy was a very lively little doll. She skipped here and there, and kept the other toys laughing at her funny tricks and the queer way her kinky hair bobbed about her head.
Rudy and Babette have been treading on each other's paws, under the table, all the evening. They trod on my tail twice, but I did not mew; that would have attracted notice." "Well, I should have mewed," said the kitchen-cat. "What might suit the kitchen would not suit the parlor," said the other.
