The39clues Quote by Peter Lerangis
““ Mrrrp? To anyone else in the Cahill universe, the high-pitched sound of the pet Egyptian Mau had a hundred different meanings: the playful mrrp , the I-want-red-snapper mrrp , the that-wasn't-enough-red-snapper mrrp , the thank-you-for-the-meager-portion-of-red-snapper mrrp . And on and on. But to Ian Kabra's ears, each was the I-hate-you-with-all-my-soul mrrp .””
