From Bleak House:
"The little woman herself is not the least item in his difficulty. To know that he is always keeping a secret from her; that he has, under all circumstances, to conceal and hold fast a tender double-tooth, which her sharpness is ever ready to twist out of his head; gives Mr Snagsby, in her dentistical presence, much of the air of a dog who has a reservation from his master, and will look anywhere rather than meet his eye."

Our new little kittens have both baby teeth canines and the emergent adult canines. The vet used them as a dating method since we had conflicting information on their ages.
