Moreover, the Terror had told her that they did not wish her to see it till it had been brought to its finished state and was in thorough working order.
Therefore she had no idea of its size or of the cost of its construction.

Like every one else she supposed it to be a ramshackle affair of makeshifts constructed from old planks and hen-coops.
Moreover she had not learned that the Twins possessed bicycles, for they were judicious in their use.

They were careful to sally forth when she was taking her siesta after lunch; they went across the common and came back across the common and their neighbors saw them riding very little.
When at last she was invited to come to see their finished work, she accepted the invitation with becoming delight, and made her inspection of the home with a becoming seriousness and a growing surprise.

She expressed her admiration of its convenience, its cleanliness, and the extensive scale on which it was being run.

She agreed with the Terror that to have saved so many kittens from the awful death of drowning was a great work.
