[Magdalen] Quiet Pub

[Susan Hagen]

This is back to 6.  I just couldn't leave her behind.  The big cats
gave me one sour look like, "Again?" and went about their affairs.
Esteban, the baby of the family, was fairly jealous.  He's come around
with plenty of extra petting.  I have one very elderly gray
tortoiseshell female, Catkin, who is about 17, then the pack of boys.
