Why?
Is it that you do worse than the world do?
You has no morality in you, Jacobina; well, but has the world ?--no! But it has humbug--you have no humbug, Jacobina.

On the faith of a man, Jacobina, you be better than the world!--baugh! You takes care of your own interest, but you takes care of your master's too!--You loves me as well as yourself.

Few cats can say the same, Jacobina! and no gossip that flings a stone at your pretty brindled skin, can say half as much.

We must not forget your kittens, Jacobina;--you have four left--they must be provided for.
Why not a cat's children as well as a courtier's?
I have got you a comfortable home, Jacobina--take care of yourself, and don't fall in love with every Tomcat in the place.

Be sober, and lead a single life till my return.
