Or look at the dark night and let that velvety darkness surround you, envelop you, dissolve you. This is the way of the simple heart."

I'm fond of Matey-all the fonder on account of the spice of devilment that's in him-like there is in all cats. But I LOVED my dog. I always had a sneaking sympathy for Alexander Elliott about HIS dog. There isn't any devil in a good dog. That's why they're more lovable than cats, I reckon."

He can't, nothing can ever do that. He has his own place, my dear wee man child. But little Joy has hers, and always will have it."
