A little exultant feeling came to Bobby when they were once away and going at full speed. His heart thumped loudly; he was extremely uncomfortable and dared not change his position, but he could not help whispering to Nobbles in triumph: 'We're on, Nobbles, and we never will go back to the House again. It did not seem very long before the car stopped.
'I'm mis'rable and very ill, said Bobby in an injured tone. 'Nobbles and me both is, and I want to see my lady! This cry was continually upon his lips, and at last one afternoon nurse opened the door and ushered in Lady Isobel. 'I am sure it is very good of you, my lady, to come to him; he is getting a bit fretful now that he's better.
'I loves you, Nobbles, darling, I loves you; and we'll make you quite better soon; it is only your body, you see. Oh, I loves you for breaking yourself in two, so that you couldn't hurt me! And then, tired and exhausted by his emotions, Bobby fell asleep, and Nobbles lay and smiled by his side.
His brown eyes scanned the horizon anxiously, and the hope that had never died yet in his childish heart leaped up anew. Nobbles was stuck into a crevice in the wall, and his smiling, ugly little head stared out in the same direction as his master's. 'It may be a station fly, and it may be our carriage, and it may be a motor, pursued Bobby dreamily, 'but he's bound to come, I'm certain sure!
'He came from over the sea; but he understands my English. He's dreadfully hurt; and he doesn't want to have a new body, it will feel so strange to him. The old man winked at Nurse. 'Ah, well, we'll see whether we can mend his old body first. He was untying Nobbles' bandages, and when he came in two, he inspected both pieces with great solemnity. 'What be you going to do with him?
The lady smiled upon him very pleasantly, then she handed him a delicious plate of strawberries, and Bobby set to work at once. He thought he had never tasted anything so nice, and in the middle of it he looked up a little anxiously. 'Poor Nobbles can't eat at all. It's such a pity.
Nobbles says if I get on a chair and reach up he'll hit them down, and then I can pick them up. We was finking about doing it first thing before breakfus' to-morrer! 'But it would be you that would do it; and dad said we weren't to touch them unless they were on the ground. 'It wouldn't be me, it would be Nobbles, insisted Bobby. 'I couldn't reach up half so high.
'Father is going away from us in the spring, said Bobby sorrowfully. Then a twinkle came into his brown eyes: 'Me and Nobbles makes up plans too in bed; we runned after father once, we hided from him in his motor, and then he had to keep us. 'Yes, but you aren't going to do that again, said True, looking at him severely. 'Dad is going across the sea; you couldn't follow him there.
'Me and Nobbles never go to tea with anybody, he said. 'Do you think grandmother will say "yes"? 'I hope she will. She nodded at him brightly, then drove off; and Nurse looked after her with a curious interest upon her face. 'That's the rich young widow, Lady Isobel, I've heard talk about. She shuts herself up, and won't go out nowheres. 'Oh, no! corrected Bobby.
Somehow or other Nobbles slipped from his grasp as he ran, and in an instant the dog had seized hold of him and, bounding over the hedge, carried him away in his mouth. This awful tragedy brought Bobby to his senses. He was panic-stricken no more, but scrambled as fast as he could into the lane.
