She stopped at sight of her son and the dog. "Oh!" she commented with no enthusiasm at all. "Well, you did it, hey?

"Why, child, all this misfortune comes of that puppy's making us leave our money behind us; for, as soon as the robber see I did put nothing in his hands, he lugged me out of the chariot by main force, and I verily thought he'd have murdered me.
But Van Horn took no notice, continuing to stare out across the sea. Nor was he aware of the puppy's presence. Jerry rested the length of his chin on Skipper's knee and gazed long and earnestly into Skipper's face. This time Skipper knew, and was pleasantly thrilled; but still he gave no sign. Jerry tried a new tack.

We named him this morning for a perfectly splendid person that we know. You know him, too. The puppy's name is Thomas." "That's Mr. Gray's real name, isn't it?" put in Elizabeth anxiously.
"'Where for mercy's sake did you find that creature? said Fanny, surveying Marius through her glass. "'Oh, him, eh? Why he is a handsome horse, if in condition a charger your know that's his style. "'Indeed, lisped a young lancer, 'I should be devilish sorry to charge or be charged with him. And here they all chuckled at this puppy's silly joke, and I drew up to repress further liberties.
"Telling me to go away, because you didn't want me here." She stamped her foot; then looked up at Ashurst.

A sort of joyous chuckle escaped from the Colonel's drooping moustache. Madame Roger's smile seemed to make her grow young; and Amedee noticed, in a corner of the dining-room, the pretty maid, who restrained herself no more than the others; and when she showed her teeth, that were like a young puppy's, she was charming indeed.
And he had the true craving of the lonely for dog comradeship. He thrust his none-too-clean hand through the wire mesh and patted the puppy's silky head.
