As she told her neighbors later, nobody knew what it was to have a lady of title in the house.

The Twins enjoyed the lunch very much indeed; and even Erebus was very quiet for two hours after it.
Lady Ryehampton came to tea at Colet House; she paid a last gloating visit to the cats' home, wrote a check for ten pounds payable to the Terror, and in a state of the liveliest satisfaction, took the train to London.
Sir Maurice stayed till a later train, for he had no great desire to travel with Lady Ryehampton.

Besides, the question what was to be done with the eight cats he had brought with him, remained to be settled.
He felt that he could not saddle the Twins with their care and up-keep, since only his unfounded distrust had brought them to the cats' home.

They discussed the matter.

Erebus was inclined to keep the cats, declaring that it would be so nice to grow their own kittens.

The Terror, looking at the question from the cold monetary point of view, wished to be relieved of them.
