Booth Tarkington was an American novelist and dramatist best known for his Pulitzer Prizewinning novels The Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams. Alice Adams won a Pulitzer Prize in 1922. An excerpt from this delightful story reads, "Whut you Aunt Julia say when?" "When you told her these were gray cats and not white cats?" "She tole me take an clean em," said Kitty Silver. "She say, she say she want em clean up spick an spang befo Mista Sammerses git here to call an see em." And she added morosely "I aint no catwashwoman!" "She wants you to bathe em?" Florence inquired, but Kitty Silver did not reply immediately. She breathed audibly, with a strange effect upon vasty outward portions of her, and then gave an incomparably dulcet imitation of her own voice, as she interpreted her use of it during the recent interview. Miss Julia, maam, I sayMiss Julia, maam, my bizniss cookin vittles, I say. Miss Julia, maam, I tole her, Miss Julia, maam, I cook fer you pa, an cook fer you famly year in, year out, an I hope an pursue, whiles some might make complaint, I take whatever I find, an I leave whatever I find.
