male · comedic · 1:04 min

Egad, you have good taste. (MAD: Tolerably; none of the worst, I believe.) But do you not also admire quite without heed was I? quite without heed was I, that is, I did not pay attention to anything; a natural way of speaking, quite without heed was I, of no harm thinking, that is, as I was going along, innocently, without malice, like a poor sheep, you I chanced to spy, that is to say, I amused myself with looking at you, with observing you, with contemplating you. Slily your eyes.... What do you think of that word slily --is it not well chosen? (CAT: Extremely so.) Slily, stealthily; just like a cat watching a mouse-- slily.
