註釋What this book really is, is a fascinating little memoir, by a lady involved in the early movement in the US, for the humane treatment of animals, which later became the ASPCA. It's a small cameo of the late 1800's; a quite charming sample of some of the more thoughtful among the comfortable classes in conversation at their summer hotel. OK, diletantish, yet they were some of the people who brought us important reforms of the 19th century.
