Even her origins were odd, for Mr. Chase found her one evening calmly sitting under a tree, and around her neck she wore a small white card saying My name is Dolly Moses. She wasnt even particularly glad to go home with him to the Chase farm - she just went. 520 $a None of the Chase family was very fond of Dolly Moses. Ten-year-old Mary Ellen worried that none of them really loved the cat, while her grandmother just came out and said she never could abide her. Mr. Chase and his wife tolerated Dolly Moses, and Bertha, the cook, asked herself whyever in all the world she had come to work in such a crazy household. To John, and Edith, and the rest of the Chase children, Dolly Moses was just one of a seemingly endless collection of pets. 520 $a Of course, there were several important differences between Dolly Moses and the rest of the animals. To begin with, she had fits, in which she became a raging bundle of whirling fur whizzing from walls to tables to chairs in a matter of seconds. This alone made her famous among the local children. Then too, she threw off sparks from her fur, and certainly nobody elses cat could do that. But she was also a very unlovable animal, with a passion for clams that one day was to prove her undoing. 941 $a 1 952 $l LEPI975 $d 20231006010912.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C7D106BCB44411E589926878DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
