"For the land sakes, Amanda Pratt!" gasped Mrs.Babcock, "you don't s'pose that cat is goin' to stint herself to a saucer a day?
Why, she'll eat half of it all up before night." Amanda stood up in the carriage.

"I've got to go back, that's all," said she.

"I ain't goin' to have that cat starve." "Land sakes, set down!" cried Mrs.Babcock.

"She won't starve.

She can hunt." "Abby'll feed her, I know," said Mrs.Green, pulling gently at her companion's arm.
