When you go back through Avonlea kindly go to Sarah Pye and ask her to live in my house during my absence and look after things , especially the cats . Tell her to give them new milk twice a day and a square inch of butter apiece once a week . Get her to put my two dark print wrappers , some aprons , and some changes of underclothing in my third best valise and have it sent down to me . My pony is tied out there to the fence . Please take him home . That is all , I think . '' `` No , it is n't all , '' said Alexander Abraham grumpily . `` Send that cat home , too .
