She never spoke of him, and was smart as a whip even in old age, and down to earth.<br />True story: she wanted to adopt a cat, so we went and picked out a rescue. A few days later she wanted to take it back, as it didn't have the temperament she wanted. So we auditioned a second cat. Two days later, a call to return him. <br />This might have gone on indefinitely, but Mary took ill and passed away a week later. The irony of cats auditioning for a role in Cats for Mary Eliot didn't strike me until later.<br /><br />N.B. <br />Mary was greatly loved by everyone who knew her.binturonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17471310771562984414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814549419838495324.post-69235168363722251562021-12-09T10:49:49.286-05:002021-12-09T10:49:49.286-05:00Definitely the type to prove how smart he was.
