My doggie's aspect was not improved by this shower. It had caused his hairy coat to cling to his form, producing a drowned-rat aspect which was not becoming; but a short run and some vigorous shakes soon restored his rotundity. In a few minutes thereafter we reached a narrow square or court at the end of a very dirty locality, in one corner of which was a low public-house.
After that he made believe to say his prayers, and rolled over and sneezed like any boy or girl, it was so natural. Sammie was becoming very much interested, for the doggie's tricks were almost as good as those Sammie had seen at the circus, when, all at once, who should come along but a big man.
But when slanderous tongues attacked poor Doggie for running away with a yelp from a little hardship; when a story or two of Doggie's career in the regiment arrived in Durdlebury, highly flavoured in transit and more and more poisoned as it went from mouth to mouth; when a legend was spread abroad that he had bolted from Salisbury Plain and was run to earth in a Turkish Bath in London, and was only saved from court-martial by family influence, then the family honour of the Conovers was wounded to its proud English depths.
She did not hold with Tommies needlessly tramping over the clean flags of her kitchen. But Doggie's polite apology for disturbing her and a youthful grace of manner he still held his tin hat under his arm caused her features to relax. "You are English?" With a smile, he indicated his uniform. "Why, yes, madame." "How comes it, then, that you speak French?"
