'Thank you, marm, says she, chilly as the top section of an ice chest, 'I'll request you not to call my husband by his first name. "It was so still you could have heard yourself grow. Effie turned white as a Sunday tablecloth. "'Your husband? she gasps. 'Your your HUSBAND? "'Yes, marm, purrs the housekeeper. 'My husband was what I said. Mr. Butler and me have just been married.
But Phosphor purrs like a windmill, like an electric car, like a tea-kettle, like a whole boiled dinner. During those early years Phosphor never washed himself, Lucifer took such care of him, and they were a lovely sight in each other's arms asleep. But of late years a coolness has intervened, and now they never speak as they pass by.
We'll go together down to the cellar and find a bottle of Pommery, and we will drink to Life and Youth and Love and the Splendour and the Joy thereof. He utters a little cry of delight and frisks around me. In the blackness of the cellar his one eye gleams like a star and he purrs unutterable rapture. My hand passed over his back produces a shower of sparks.
Pat came over, but his most seductive purrs won no notice from his mistress, who refused herself the pleasure of even patting him. Aunt Janet could not go down the hill in the afternoon to find out how Sara was because company came to tea the Millwards from Markdale. Mr. Millward was a doctor, and Mrs.
The cat, with her usual hypocrisy, came outside her fender to profess that she had been on Gwen's side all along, whatever the issue.

The cricket was too preoccupied to enter into the affairs of fussy, uncontinuous mortals, and the kettle was cool and detached, but ready to act when called on.

Sir S. actually admired their red hair. He exclaimed suddenly, "By Jove, it's worth crossing the ocean to see that glorious stuff again! It's the hair of Circe." I don't know when anything has made me feel so much like a kitten that purrs over a dish of cream. For you know the hair he loved was just my colour, not a bit less scarlet. What would Grandma say?
Without doubt you come again as a petitioner," said Barbarina, with the cunning manner of a cat, who purrs while she scratches. The proud Cocceji was wounded; she frowned sternly, but suppressed her anger. Barbarina was right she came with a request.
When the family sits down to tea, the cat usually puts in an appearance to get his share, and purrs noisily, and rubs himself against the legs of the family; and all the time he is thinking of a fight or a love-affair that is coming off that evening. If there is a guest at table the cat is particularly civil to him, because the guest is likely to have the best of what is going.
We may, therefore, believe its virtues to have been rare enough; and cannot well figure to ourselves Petrarch sitting before that wide-mouthed fire-place, without beholding also the gifted cat that purrs softly at his feet and nestles on his knees, or, with thickened tail and lifted back, parades, loftily round his chair in the haughty and disdainful manner of cats.
