Grey Persian cats and white ones, and tabbies and black cats who sat on the balconies and stared at Down as she lay on Horse-chestnut's broad, wavy back. For the Captain of the Escort had found out what an excellent creature the old pony was, and had brought it along with him. The High Fort was a huge place with great gardens within its battlements and several separate palaces.
Cats began to troop into the room, cats by the hundred toms and tabbies, gray, yellow, Maltese, Persian, Manx all purring and all marching round and round, rubbing against the furniture, the professor, and even against me. I struggled with the nightmare. "'Take them away! I tried to gasp. "'Nonsense! he said; 'here is an old friend. "I saw the white tabby cat of the Hôtel St. Antoine.
"I wish Brother Cross would get him to pray only. I wonder if he believes in the new-light doctrine?" purred one of the ancient tabbies of the conventicle.
"I fancy that if they had had a real scandal to discuss," she observed, "their faces would have registered more poignant interest." "'Poignant interest'!" scoffed the manager in disgust. "If these Herringport tabbies had the toothache they would register only polite anguish in public. They are the most insular and self-contained and self-suppressed women I ever saw. These Down-Easters!
I'll not let her come into this house. Confound Lady Betty, and all scandal-loving old tabbies like her! Bless me!" continued Mr Witherington, throwing the letter on the table with a deep sigh, "this is anything but comfortable."

"I thought it was going off well when Griffin opened the ball by finding her little figure poked away there on the stand back of her head, and made such a cute speech to it, but the rest of them certainly behaved like tame tabbies. I was never so disappointed in my life." "I thought Miss Green was really quite clever," said Elinor brightly.
I am afraid I was not particularly nice the last few days at the Hydro. Such a lot of dull, prosy, inquisitive, bothering old tabbies!

"'Exactly, he said, tying a large knot in his coat-tails. "'You will ruin your coat, I observed. "'Papa! exclaimed the girl, turning in dismay, as that gentleman gave a guilty start, 'stop it at once!
"We could not have balls or parties or Germans, nothing but dinners and teas and musicales and stupid receptions. And there wouldn't be anything for young people to do; the old tabbies, you know, can gossip about their neighbors, and the men can smoke." "It is all so wonderfully beautiful!" she begins, dreamily.
