...recent flame named Amabel shows up with an older idea. She appears in a dressing gown, soon has Max frothing and fumbling. When the pair rejoins the others, Amabel looks "like a cat that has just had its own mouse coming among other cats who had only had the smell." But Amabel's triumph is short.

Another riot occurred later, when somebody referred, in the course of saying grace, to this "fresh instance of bounty" in the midst of what was described as the "ancient and fishlike smell" of University Hall.

Done mostly with gouache, "because it comes in charming little French jars and doesn't smell," they spoofed and also celebrated the drifting, uppercrust, good-time world that Bemelmans inhabits. Their style mingled childlike cheer and simplicity with penknife stabs of caricature...
