And this morning the young villain thinks he will play me a trick, so he put two marbles in my boots. He must have done that in the early hours before you were awake! Bobby's face was a study. Delight, horror, and confusion was depicted on it. He looked at Nobbles thoughtfully, then he announced: 'I didn't reely fight the cricket bat, I only felt him! 'But I am talking of Nobbles.
I'll hit you if you do! The biggest of the boys laughed at him, and advanced to seize the crouching dog. Bobby was so angry that he sprang forward and hit him sharply on the shoulder. In an instant the boy, who was a bully by nature, had wrenched his precious stick away from him, and began to belabour him so unmercifully with it that in a moment poor Nobbles was snapped in two.
'He's a rum 'un! said Curly, regarding Nobbles' little head with some interest. 'Well, when I lives at 'ome it's 7 Surrey Court. Now you ain't no wiser, I bet! 'I could find it if I wanted to. I'd ask a policeman to take me, said Bobby confidently. 'Do you go to school, or are you too grown-up?
'I have heard so much about you from my little sister Daisy that I feel I know you already. Do you wonder that I call her little? I am ten years older than she is, and she always seems a little girl to me. 'Now Kathleen, respect my office, and don't be giving me away to my pupils. Bobby, show my sister your wonderful Nobbles, and tell her about him while I get tea ready.
He came into my room and had a fight with my old cricket bat. He got the worst of it, and went back to your nursery to get some help. He brought along a ninepin, and they fought two against one; the poor ninepin was nearly done for, and he rolled away under the bed and fainted. Then Nobbles slunk off and left him in the lurch.
Men were rushing frantically back to get it. 'Father! Father! Don't sink! Oh, do catch hold of Nobbles! 'Hi, you little chap, you'll be going in yourself! Come back! Give me your stick! Here, Allonby, catch hold! Mr. Allonby's head appeared above the surface again, and in an instant the man behind Bobby had placed Nobbles across the hole in the ice. Exhausted as he was, Mr.
True never could quite distinguish the difference between the outside and inside cleansing. Bobby looked up thoughtfully. 'I'll tell him 'bout it. He's going to be my friend, True; and me and Nobbles means to see him very often. And when Bobby said a thing he meant it. The winter was nearly over when a sudden sharp frost set in.
'You do belong to me, Bobby, and we'll find a corner for you somewhere; but I mustn't kidnap you in this fashion. I'll take you back to your grandmother, and talk to her about it. She'll be alarmed about you. Bobby began to cry again in an agitated fashion. 'I can't go back! Me and Nobbles won't! If you take me back I'll be punished.
He was standing by Lady Isobel, who was beginning to take her farewell of her friends. 'Do you think we have behaved ourselves well? he asked him. 'Oh, I think it's been lovelly! exclaimed Bobby with rapt eyes. 'Haven't you enjoyed it 'normously? Me and Nobbles have. 'Let's see Master Nobbles! I really believe, Bobby, that he has had something to do with this wedding.
'Well, you see, we shall have to get married first, and that takes time. I think you'll have to come to the wedding. Bobby's face was a picture of shining joy. 'I finks your news is lovely. Me and Nobbles have never been to a wedding. 'Will you ask me, too? asked True. 'Yes, I will. I want to have it very soon, and here in London; but Lady Isobel wants to wait a little.
