<p>The little brother and sister in Julia Stephen's "Cat's Meat"
want to be a "crossing sweeper" and a "cat's meat girl" so their
mother will pay more attention to them. " We thought if we were
really poor children, we <i>should</i> see you because you are
always with the poor," little Maggie explains to her mother, Lady
Margaret, when the they are found. And brother Bob says, "And we
thought we would go to the suburbs . . . for you are always
there." As Libby Steele says in her introduction to the stories,
both children and parents have lessons to learn.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">On an adjacent topic, photos of “cat’s
meat men” always fascinate me. (Purveyors of food FOR cats
and dogs, but who can really say…). I’ve seen other photos
with a London seller being trailed by scores of hungry, thin
street cats at a time. I don’t believe this was a London
sight that VW wrote about, but wouldn’t rule it out (on this
list!). And it might give some context for the nuisance of
poor Topaz.<o:p></o:p></p>
