When Dr. Blake woke next morning, it was with a sense of delicious expectancy.
They walked home through the park and met Don. He was chasing brownies as usual, and poor Nannie was finding it difficult to keep up with him. She never let him out of her sight for even an instant, and every man that passed was a possible kidnapper in her old eyes. Don greeted the girls with joy. "I were chasing a brownie!" he exclaimed, "but he got away from me."
"No, fortunately, the blade of my knife bent: the blow is not fatal. Besides, in any case, those rascals deserve no pity." Outside, they were met by the dogs, which accompanied them to the postern.
