Then arose the Q.C., and cautiously peeped behind the curtain, where he beheld Wow and his humble friend amicably discussing their respective bones, Wow's being the bigger and the meatier of the two. If we could be secured against their imitation, it would be pleasant to ask our own domestic pets the problems: "What do you think of that, my cat?" "What do you think of that, my dog?"
It is only reluctantly that I allow myself to be drawn from my secret musings into a discussion of Utopian pets.
The shyness of Raymond Mortimer, suddenly confronted by this new personality and the immediate need of entertaining it, gave way before the enthusiasm of the little girl over his pets, his favorite haunts, the works of his hands everything in which he had a share.
Sam felt very bad, for he had had his white mice pets a long time, and had taught them to do many little tricks. "We'll all help you look for them," said Ben. "Did you ever teach any of them the trick of opening the cage door?" he asked. "No," replied Sam. "I don't believe they could do that, for the door was fastened on the outside, and white mice haven't paws like a trained monkey.
