Apparently, he found the conversation trivial; he yawned again, capaciously. "You darling! You must have slept with one eye open," said Elsie, stooping to pat him. "Oh, take care!" cried Isobel.

"You were the first to love me in my loneliness!" he said, stroking the tiny animal's soft ears "And, to be quite exact, I owe my life and all my present surroundings to you, Charlie!
