"Come to the love feast, Pussie. We want you right away." "I'm busy catching birds, sir. I'll come some other day." "We're going to have a love feast, Sir Toad, and wait for you." "I'm busy catching flies, now; and won't tomorrow do?" "Come to the love feast, Robin. We need your merry song." "I'm busy catching insects, but I'll be there ere long."
