Famous quotes containing the word paw:

    Now Kitty, let’s consider who it was that dreamed it all. This is a serious question, my dear, and you should not go on licking your paw like that—as if Dinah hadn’t washed you this morning! You see, Kitty, it must have been either me or the Red King.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
