"Who?"

Angus pointed to the door, outside which Cyril was waiting patiently. A dog. "Have you ever met an insincere dog - a dog who hides his true feelings?"
Domenica looked thoughtful.

"And cats?"

"Dreadfully insincere," said Angus. "Psychopaths- every one of them. Show me a cat, Domenica, and I'll show you a psychopath. Textbook examples."
