Do come here and look at pussy; did you ever see anything so comfortable ?' 'You and she look about equally lazy.

What have you been doing all the afternoon ?' 'We look what we are, my dear.

Why, I have been attending to my domestic duties, arranging the flowers, mending my pink dress for to-morrow night, and helping to keep mamma in good spirits; she is depressed because she has been finding Elizabeth out in some waste or other, and I have been preaching to her to make Elizabeth uncomfortable if she likes, but not to worrit herself.

And after all, pussy and I have come out for a rest.

We've earned it, haven't we, Chattie?
And as for you, Miss Artistic, I should like to know what you've been doing for the good of your kind since dinner.
