common ground


What do these items share?
 Well, both stem from 10D, an apartment that is being renovated.
    The Old Paris porcelain vase, not a particularly good example, I am told,  was being thrown out when our own CBA told me to retrieve it for her. I did so.
   That's the upside of the renovation.
   

 
The downside is that I too live in a D line apartment, four stories above, and the denizens of the walls tend to depart for points otherwhere when disturbed. Sadly, mi casa est su casa, and I fear they may move in. Hence the ounce of prevention, suggested by CBA.
    Alas, this seems to have drawn attention by reknowned animal rights law firm, Les Felines Pour la Justice. Senior partners Catticus Finch,  F. Miaow Bailey, Furry Mason and Clarence Sparrow have already been in touch with me: "Due to all the new insect clients in your apartment, three new first-year associates have been hired."
   I uneasily await events.

    Madame Dowling: C'est à vous informer que nous allons envoyer notre associé,
    Felan Purrshowitz, à New York la semaine prochaine pour commencer negotiation entre vous et nos clients, La Roach Relocation Groupe Riverside.
    Nous pensons que, bien que Mme Purrshowitz est jeune et relativement nouveau membre de notre groupe, la "touche féminine" peut être utile dans les négotations. De tous les membres de Les Félins por La justice, elle est le plus susceptible de surmonter ses instincts de base et de manger les insectes mêmes qu'elle représente.
    Sincèrement, Nez Bite Kitty, Esquire

    Et ensuite, la translation:
    Dear Madam Dowling: This is to inform you that we will be sending our associate,
    Felan Purrshowitz, to New York next week to begin negotiatons between you and our clients, The Riverside Roach Relocation Group.
    We feel that although Ms. Purrshowitz is young and a relatively new member of our group, the "feminine touch" may be helpful in the negotations. Of all the members of Les Felines por La Justice, she is the most likely to overcome her basic instincts and not eat the very insects she is representing.
    Sincerely, Nose Bite Kitty, Esquire

    Ah, my fearless Katie, who I once witnessed clock a rat invading her kitchen with an iron frying pan. My heroine!
