That cat was a spy. You had to take a pot shot at it. It was a very clever German midget dressed up in a cheap fur coat.
Then the carousel started, and I watched her go round and round...All the kids tried to grap for the gold ring, and so was old Phoebe, and I was sort of afraid she's fall off the goddam horse, but I didn't say or do anything. The thing with kids is, if they want to grab for the gold ring, you have to let them do it, and not say anything. If they fall off, they fall off, but it is bad to say anything to them.
God damn it, there are nice things in the world – and I mean nice things. We're all such morons to get so sidetracked.
