Elizabeth Peters  - Quotes

 The cat Horus shot out from under the table and headed for the door, his ears flattened and his tail straight out.

The cat got entangled in Abdullah's skirts and a brief interval of staggering (by Abdullah), scratching (by Horus) and swearing (by both parties) ensued before Horus freed himself and departed.
