" aunt aggie was looking at him in such astonisment that she hardly noticed what he said, and the next moment a big piece of the ceiling fell down on her head. pluto said, " she has spent five years getting me to talk,and then when i speak the fool doesn`t listen." lucille : oh,hob, what a story! hob : what's the matter? you believe it, don't you? lucille : of course, i don`t ; not one word of it. you don't believe it yourself, do you? hob : aunt aggie told me the story herself, so, of course , i believe it, all except the bit out pluto eating cabbage; i don`t think cats eat cabbage.
