Great Regulars: The poem takes its pace

from the heat of the afternoon: unfolding slowly with a description of the cat "boneless on the hot stones of the drive", leading in a lovely soundscape of assonance and lulling iambics to the poet's discovery of the tick, "a tiny purple aubergine" (brilliant image!) in her coat.
