"Then make a new one," said the youngest kitten, so pertly that Mrs. Buff boxed her ears at once—but she laughed too. Did you ever hear a cat laugh? People say that cats often have occasion to do it. "I...

Every time I think of it I feel as if I were going down an elevator forty floors and my heart flippity-flops so my teeth mortify me.
