Mrs.
Gardner
was
tall
and
thin
and
handsome
,
exquisitely
gowned
,
cordial
with
a
cordiality
that
seemed
a
trifle
forced
.
Aline
Gardner
was
a
younger
edition
of
her
mother
,
lacking
the
cordiality
.
She
endeavored
to
be
nice
,
but
succeeded
only
in
being
haughty
and
patronizing
.
Dorothy
Gardner
was
slim
and
jolly
and
rather
tomboyish
.
Anne
knew
she
was
Roy
's
favorite
sister
and
warmed
to
her
.
She
would
have
looked
very
much
like
Roy
if
she
had
had
dreamy
dark
eyes
instead
of
roguish
hazel
ones
.
Thanks
to
her
and
Phil
,
the
call
really
went
off
very
well
,
except
for
a
slight
sense
of
strain
in
the
atmosphere
and
two
rather
untoward
incidents
.
Rusty
and
Joseph
,
left
to
themselves
,
began
a
game
of
chase
,
and
sprang
madly
into
Mrs.
Gardner
's
silken
lap
and
out
of
it
in
their
wild
career
.
Mrs.
Gardner
lifted
her
lorgnette
and
gazed
after
their
flying
forms
as
if
she
had
never
seen
cats
before
,
and
Anne
,
choking
back
slightly
nervous
laughter
,
apologized
as
best
she
could
.
"
You
are
fond
of
cats
?
"
said
Mrs.
Gardner
,
with
a
slight
intonation
of
tolerant
wonder
.
Anne
,
despite
her
affection
for
Rusty
,
was
not
especially
fond
of
cats
,
but
Mrs.
Gardner
's
tone
annoyed
her
.
Inconsequently
she
remembered
that
Mrs.
John
Blythe
was
so
fond
of
cats
that
she
kept
as
many
as
her
husband
would
allow
.
"
They
ARE
adorable
animals
,
are
n't
they
?
"
she
said
wickedly
.
"
I
have
never
liked
cats
,
"
said
Mrs.
Gardner
remotely
.
"
I
love
them
,
"
said
Dorothy
.
"
They
are
so
nice
and
selfish
.
Dogs
are
TOO
good
and
unselfish
.
They
make
me
feel
uncomfortable
.
But
cats
are
gloriously
human
.
"
"
You
have
two
delightful
old
china
dogs
there
.
May
I
look
at
them
closely
?
"
said
Aline
,
crossing
the
room
towards
the
fireplace
and
thereby
becoming
the
unconscious
cause
of
the
other
accident
.
Picking
up
Magog
,
she
sat
down
on
the
cushion
under
which
was
secreted
Priscilla
's
chocolate
cake
Priscilla
and
Anne
exchanged
agonized
glances
but
could
do
nothing
.
The
stately
Aline
continued
to
sit
on
the
cushion
and
discuss
china
dogs
until
the
time
of
departure
.
Dorothy
lingered
behind
a
moment
to
squeeze
Anne
's
hand
and
whisper
impulsively
.
