Roast beef that has been used as a mop becomes just a little bit gritty to the taste, so Nora thought it the part of wisdom to consign it to the garbage can. , “I think, Nora,” remarked Mrs. Brown, rambling into the kitchen later in the day, “that we will have some of that roast beef, cut cold for supper.”. “Sure, an’ Oi’m sorry, ma’am,” responded Norah, contritely, “but the cat got it when Oi wasn’t lookin’.” “The cat”got it!” exclaimed the mistress. “What cat?” “Jay whizz, ma’am!” rejoined Norah, considerably concerned. “Ain’t there no cat?” —Philadelphia Bulletin.
