The kittens have gone in for their little operations today. It was most amusing to see their various antics this morning when they were trying to persuade me that they needed food. Poor little mites. Maybe it will make them appreciate their food more and stop spreading it liberally over the kitchen floor.
Moving onto more entertaining matters, I found a P G Wodehouse quote this week which amused me somewhat:
Had Stinker encountered Spode on the football field, he would have had no hesitation in springing at his neck and twisting it into a lovers' knot. The trouble was that he was a curate, and the brass hats of the Church look askance at curates who swat the parishioners. Swat your flock and you're sunk. So now he shrank from intervening and when he did intervene, it was merely the soft word that's supposed to turn away wrath.
`I say, you know, what?'
Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves (1963)
I am considering making a collection of notable quotes about clergymen in fiction.
