�Don�t �eye daid� me young lady.� Said Macavity as he pounced down to the floor. If you heard the two talking you would never have believed him to be her father, he held no trace of her accent. �Where are Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer?�
�There, there commin� or should be, tonoight.�
�And the Jellicals thought you to be a homeless kitten?�
�Of course Daid.�
�Did anything go wrong?�
�No Daid�
�Good. Keep this up Madrigal and you may even become a full time agent. You look enough like a sweet Jellical to be taken into their care, they may even invite you to their ball!� His eyes widened with the thought.
�Ey Daid there was one cat there an� e could foire lightin�
�Yes Mr Mistoffelies, he�s been there for just over a year. He spoilt my plan at the ball last year but not this time� Madrigal if your only going to tell me things that I already know I don�t want to hear it.�

�Err, I wos plaiyin on some raibbish when I cait meself on a tin. It�s alroight, it don�t urt.� She quickly licked away the blood as proof.
�Alright then. But I have something important to tell you. Munkustrap was looking for you. I reckon it�s about the ball tomorrow! Isn�t that great? Old Deuteronomy will be there so you might even become a Jellical!�
�Really? Well that�s cool�
�Come on he wants to talk to you!�
�Err wot now? Cos I railly wonted ta talk ta Mungojerrie an Rumpleteazer.�
�Oh well last I saw of them, they were over on the chair.�
