[Vwoolf] Cats and Mary Ellen

[Stuart N. Clarke]

We have become more civilized: we no longer take pleasure in tying cats to spits and slowly roasting them over fires, as French aristocrats used to do for fun in eighteenth-century France, wrote Leonard Woolf.  Where?  Probably not in his autobiography.  Probably in “After the Deluge” (2 vols) or “Principia Ethica” (i.e. vol. 3 of the former).
