When they came near the foot of the hill, the little pug ran on ahead of his mother and looked into the stream. "How lucky!" he said, "he is still here. Now, mother, you see that what I said is true." "It is your shadow, little one." "No, no, my eyes are better than yours, mother." Just then his mother came up and stood beside him. "How queer!" said the little dog. "That is the pug's mother.
Instantly the long whip snapped its terse admonition to good manners. Nothing happened, except that the pug, from between the puma's legs, barked insolently. The sandy-brown bulk reached its allotted pedestal, which was quite absurdly too small for it to mount, dropped the musket with a clatter, fell upon all fours with a loud whoof of relief, and relapsed into a bear.
In the exposure that was to come the Adventurer, alias the Pug, was involved. Was there any way to save the man to whom she owed so much, the splendidly chivalrous, high-couraged gentleman she loved, the thief she abhorred?
"Taking care of a dog," said Frank, laughing. "Is that the dog?" "Yes." "It's a beastly little brute. What's its name?" "Fido." "Who does it belong to?" Frank answered. "I know," said Victor; "it's a fat lady living on the avenue. I have seen her out often with little pug. How do you feel, Fido?" and Victor began to pull the hair of the lady's favorite.
His fingers gripped a sheet of notepaper but he was seemingly unconscious of that fact. He was leaning forward, staring into the aperture. "It's empty!" he choked. "Wot's dat?" cried the Pug, and sprang to his companion's side. "Youse're crazy, Pinkie!" He thrust his head toward the opening and then turned and stared for a moment helplessly at Pinkie Bonn. "So help me!" he said heavily.
His visage was, as I have said already, bluff and good-natured, with a pair of hazel eyes, of the smallest but, at the same time, of the very merriest twinkling from under the thick black eyebrows, which were the only hairs suffered to grace his clean-shaved countenance. An indescribable pug nose, and a good clean cut mouth, with a continual dimple at the left corner, made up his phiz.
His black muzzle, quarrelsome and scowling showed two fangs sallying forth, and turning up from the left side of the mouth, and altogether he had an expression singularly forbidding and vindictive. This disagreeable animal, a perfect type of what might be called a "church-goer's pug," answered to the name of "My Lord."
One saw their pigments and their lines in the castes; here a soupçon of the French and there a touch of the Dane; the Chileño, himself a mestizo, had left his print in delicacy of feature, and the Irish his freckles and pug, which with tawny skin, pearly teeth, and the superb form of the pure Tahitian, left little to be desired in fetching and saucy allurement.
Beatrice might have married well, but girls are such fools. Hallo, Topsy, what are you barking at?" Mrs. Kynaston's pug had come tearing out of the house with a whole chorus of noisy yappings. The peacocks, deeply wounded in their tenderest feelings, instantly took wing, and went sailing away majestically over the crimson and gold parterre of flowers below.
She had seen him before in anger; but now, with his lips drawn back and working, his whole face contorted, he seemed utterly beside himself. "What's the matter?" she inquired innocently. "Wouldn't the Pug talk, or is it a case of 'another hour or so, and " He swung on her furiously. "Hold your cursed tongue!" he flared. "You'll snicker on the wrong side of your face this time!"
