I had existed like this for a fortnight when Alexander Abraham suddenly appeared . He walked in one evening at dusk , but at first sight I did n't know him he was so spruced and barbered up . But William Adolphus knew him . Will you believe it , William Adolphus , my own William Adolphus , rubbed up against that man 's trouser leg with an undisguised purr of satisfaction . `` I had to come , Angelina , '' said Alexander Abraham . `` I could n't stand it any longer . '' `` My name is Peter , '' I said coldly , although I was feeling ridiculously glad about something . `` It is n't , '' said Alexander Abraham stubbornly . `` It is Angelina for me , and always will be . I shall never call you Peter . Angelina just suits you exactly ; and Angelina Bennett would suit you still better . You must come back , Angelina . Mr. Riley is moping for you , and I ca n't get along without somebody to appreciate my sarcasms , now that you have accustomed me to the luxury . '' `` What about the other five cats ? '' I demanded . Alexander Abraham sighed . `` I suppose they 'll have to come too , '' he sighed , `` though no doubt they 'll chase poor Mr. Riley clean off the premises . But I can live without him , and I ca n't without you . How soon can you be ready to marry me ? '' `` I have n't said that I was going to marry you at all , have I ? ''
I said tartly , just XXXXX be consistent .
