Subject: Re: "Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth."



A female colleague of mine from Kansas (specializing in 18th century

lit, which may explain something) says "Butter wouldn't melt in his

mouth" all the time. For her the implication is not emotionally cold

so much as it is prissy. She says it about this finicky cat a lot.
