It was such a comfort to think that those cats weren't wandering around desolate back alleys for two or three long weeks. Tired mothers and children and cats don't sound so wildly diverting," observed the other, languidly. "Oh, but there was a comfortable quota of Immaculately gowned, veiled and women like ourselves Just the ordinary modern type. And there were confidential elderly ladles, who fell Into conversation with s their and were the chummiest of acquaintances by the journey's end. I liked the naturalness of It all.
