Then waddle off to the pond to swim. Tabitha comes out to call the children in and is "affronted" by what she finds. She sends the kittens to bed, and tells her friends the kittens have the measles. Once the tea party is underway however, its "dignity and repose" are disturbed by the kittens romping overhead and leaving a bedroom in disorder.
