...compromise ourselves here, and it is not fair that you sit by dispassionately observing us." The members' talk was not always as enamelled as their published words.

In every side street you meet the cats, old and emaciated cats, cats with one eye blind, kittens toddling with unsteady step, cats with skin diseases, cats eternally scratching themselves, dying cats run over by cars on the roadside.
