"No, sir; I don't know exactly where he is " "But how did you get here?" persisted Carrington. Suddenly Mahaffy turned on him. "Don't you see he's with us?" he said truculently.

The dog's nose lay along his breast under his chin, and as he gave it dutiful hugs, one hug to every five paces, the dog put out its tongue and licked him timidly under the chin. "Stop," roared Fergus, "stop that forever," and he grew very red in the face, and stared truculently down along his nose.
