In chapter 10, General Alison and Docras are talking about Cathy because of her ‘ arm dangling and many animals are accompany with her. Although she is in the bed, she still can receive report all the time from her officers and acting upon them, and giving orders. The same situatiom as she is well, but she have to get surgon. Unfortunately, the surgon can not have this situation. When the doctor told Cathy that she can not do that, she was outraged and indignant. Moreover, the doctor do not realize her because she is very happy when she get along with these animals. If she can not get along with animals, it will hurt more. Therefore she still send message to BB and to all animals. On ther other hand, Docras and General Alison believe animals can talk each other. They discover it from Shekels. They think Shekels is listening what are they talking about. And then whisper around together between animals.
Next, they are talking about the doctor is impolite to Cathy. When the doctor come, he do not salute. Althogh he is impolite, Cathy still polite to him and do not want to hurt his feelings. When General Alison heard about this new, he want to discipline him but that is not cathy’s desire. Docras think She just hope General Alison can speak to this doctor. So, this is one of Docras’ errands. The other one is to let General Alison not angry to these soldiers because they are surround her room. If he do not mind, he can come in the back way. Finally, Cathy told what she really want to General Alison. One is to to preside a court-martial for her. and shake hands with Soldier Boy.
I think that Cathy is very kind Children. Althouth the docor is impolite to her, she still care about his feeling. In order not to hurt him, she call General Alison to speak to him.
I like your summary. Could you tell me why the doctor is impolite to Cathy?
I am surprised to read that the grown-ups in the story are starting to think that the animals can understand what they are saying; a very unusual attitude for people in a story. Does Mark Twain mention why they think so?

I think this is what Mark Twain want, grown-ups in the story are starting to think that the animals can understand what they are saying. I think it is a kind of Mark Twain’s humorous style, he is telling every thing in a strange way, but want to tell people something behind the words.
Cathy is so sweet and polite, even though doctor is very rude.
On the other hand, the animals can talk each other and understand people’s talking. Interesting~~
Before chapters do not show any sign about the animal’s talent.
I really like cathy from what you are talking about. She is so polite even if others treated her impolitely.
Cathy is really cute and polite as you said although I think she can tell to animal is strange. I will expect the next chapter.
I admire kathy for her politeness and charm of being kind to animals.Its amazing that she is able to communicate to animals.
