The paper fell from Mr. Heatherbloom's hand; for several moments he sat motionless; then he got up, unloosened his charges and moved on. They naturally became once more wild with joy, but he heeded not their exuberances; even Naughty's demonstrations brought no answering touch of his hand, that now lifted to his breast and took something from his pocket an article wrapped in a pink tissue-paper.
He looked into Naughty's eyes, and they seemed full of liquid reproach. Naughty had been his friend supposititiously, and to abandon him now to the world, a cold place devoid of French lamb chops? A hard place for homeless dogs and men, alike! About to waive the temptation, Mr. Heatherbloom paused; the idea was capable of modification or expansion. Most ideas are.
Only once had she thought him at fault in his likes or dislikes of people; when he had showed a predilection for the assistant rector's shapely calves. But after that gentleman's elopement with a lady of the choir and his desertion of wife and children, Naughty's erstwhile disrespect for the cloth, which Miss Van Rolsen had grieved over, became illumined with force and significance.
"That Naughty, who so seldom takes to strangers, should " she found herself saying. "Perhaps it's the scent of the gasolene," he suggested. "It's in spite of the gasolene," she retorted sharply. And for some moments ruminated. It was not until afterward Mr. Heatherbloom learned that her confidence in Naughty's instinct amounted to a hobby.
What?" she repeated. Then she transfixed him with her eye; the dogs transfixed him with their eyes. Accusingly? Not all of them. Naughty's glance expressed approval; his tail underwent a friendly agitation. "Naughty!" said the lady sharply. Naughty gamboled around Horatio. "How odd!" murmured the mistress, more to herself than the other. "How very extraordinary!" "What, Madam?" he ventured.
