New people had come to the house next door. Harriett saw a pretty girl / going in and out. She had not called; she was not going to call. Their / cat came over the garden wall and bit off the blades of the irises. / When he sat down on the mignonette Harriett sent a note round by Maggie: / "Miss Frean presents her compliments to the lady next door and would be / glad if she would restrain her cat."
Five minutes later the pretty girl appeared with the cat in her arms.
