"Where did you go, you darling?" she asked her over and over again, but Sarah never answered. She only wagged her fringy tail, and licked her mistress's hand, and goggled at her with her full dark eyes.
Before the post-office a terribly grimy touring car stood with its running-boards loaded with canvas-covered suitcases.
