desperance...Actually, you don't even have to be that good to him. I wash my hands of the little beast.
I came home to find that, in order to avail himself of crumpets, Mac had pushed the entire bread-crock off the table. (The bread-crock, I should note, is large and heavy earthenware. He's a slim cat. It will have taken effort.)
In a moment of blessed irony, it landed on a cat-bed, so didn't break. But even so. I am entirely fed-up. And crumpetless.
And yes, since you ask: I do reject any notion of Barry as co-conspirator* in this. Making things fall from a height in order to break them open is Mac's trick entirely. He was probably a lammergeier in a previous life. Or perhaps he has ambitions for the next. Which he may come to, sooner than he expects...
*Oh, and? In my previous, I meant in usages like The co-conspirators stood together in the dock, which I have seen often enough recently that I nearly used it myself this morning. Whereas I think The conspirators stood together covers the situation perfectly well, or should do.
