“ The white cat Sal-al was lying on the straw matting in the empty conservatory. She looked at us with a wicked, conceited expression as if all her appetites had just been satisfied. She was beautiful. Vesta and I both said, I wish I were a cat! Before we got to the last word we smiled at each other in annoyance, not liking the idea that most human beings think very much alike. ”
