It is best if possible to take two pups, as a lone hound is miserable without a playmate, and if he has no one to play with, he will be almost sure to get into mischief. One will want to boss the other, but they can generally be left to settle their own quarrels.
"I think it is more 'curous' than pretty," said Geoffrey solemnly; "I should call it 'Kurus." He had been trying for several minutes to think of something to say to comfort Mollie. "But I wanted to call it Evelina," said Molly; "I can't call that thing Evelina. Why, I can't even show it to Bessie." Now, Bessie was the little girl next door, Mollie's own well-beloved playmate.
