Meanwhile, Maigret and the little ones seize the opportunity offered by a confusing switch to alliance between feline Sylvia and daring mouse Jack, and the flickering arrival and resizing of Wynken, Blynkin, and Nod, as well as the rolling arrival of the wheel of cheese just outside their mousehole; they had to help their father to fetch the family feast, and so began to gnaw at the rind and tear out tiny sections for their dinner.

Early September AM
I yawn and stretch, displacing the kitty wedged against my hip; He’s clever enough to patiently pad a circle as I settle, Draping himself over the valley of my belly when I finally lie on my side.
