` Yes , ' went on your aunt , ` there is an advertisement in the Charlottetown Enterprise for a Persian cat , and I answered it . Fatima is really quite a charge , you know -- and so apt to die and be a dead loss , ' -- did your aunt mean a pun , girls ? -- ` and so , although I am considerably attached to her , I have decided to part with her . ' `` By this time I had got my second wind , and I promptly decided that a judicious mixture of the truth was the thing required . '' ` Well , of all the curious coincidences , ' I exclaimed . ` Why , Miss Ridley , it was I who advertised for a Persian cat -- on Sue 's behalf . She and Ismay have decided that they want a cat like Fatima for themselves . ' `` You should have seen how she beamed . She said she knew you always really liked cats , only you would never own up to it . We clinched the dicker then and there . I passed her over your hundred and ten dollars -- she took the money without turning a hair -- and now you are the joint owners of Fatima . Good luck to your bargain ! '' `` Mean old thing , '' sniffed Ismay . She meant Aunt Cynthia , and , remembering our shabby furs , I did n't disagree with her . `` But there is no Fatima , '' I said , dubiously . `` How shall we account for her when Aunt Cynthia comes home ? '' `` Well , your aunt is n't coming home for a month yet . When she comes you will have to tell her that the cat -- is lost -- but you need n't say WHEN it happened . As for the rest , Fatima is your property now , so Aunt Cynthia ca n't grumble . But she will have a poorer opinion than ever of your fitness to run a house alone . ''
