Both old Sally and Anne were full of assurances as to Eliza's kindness and the comforts which would surround the grey kitten in her house. Certainly it would have to catch mice, but that, they declared, was a pleasure to a cat, and could not be called hard work.

The grey kitten had a home at last. This arrangement made, Dennis got up briskly, with a business-like air.
