Booth Tarkington was an American novelist and dramatist best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning 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 ain’t no cat-washwoman!' '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, ma’am,’ I say--’Miss Julia, ma’am, my bizniss cookin’ vittles,’ I say. ’Miss Julia, ma’am,’ I tole her, ’Miss Julia, ma’am, I cook fer you’ pa, an’ cook fer you’ fam’ly 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. No’m, Miss Julia, ma’am,’ I say--’no’m, Miss Julia, ma’am, I ain’t no cat-washwoman!’
