“Will not the string be very indigestible, Anna Maria?” inquired Samuel Whiskers.
Anna Maria said she thought that it was of no consequence; but she wished that Tom Kitten would hold his head still, as it disarranged the pastry. She laid hold of his ears.

No, roly poly pudding!
Exactly! I want whatever is going on here.
Kid lit was pretty dark before it got Disneyfied.
They’re planning to murder the kitten then cook and eat him. Seriously. That’s the entire plot of this book.
I see this as an absolute win.
