"I am sure you will like them the more, the longer you see them. They are young men of merit, and without that puppy-like affectation which is so often found with young gentlemen of rank; and though remarkably well informed, they are very free from pedantry. "Albert is a very agreeable companion. His manners are so quiet and harmonious that one likes to have him near one's self.
Nels stood between the two, waiting for his orders; and wheeled with a dip of the head almost puppy-like when the man decided. So Skag walked on toward the road where Carlin lived; and at his heels, with dignity, strode one of the four great hunting dogs in India. Presently he saw Miss Annesley's head-servant, Deenah, running toward him face grey with calamity.
At once the melancholy in Lad's deep eyes gave place to puppy-like exultance. While, naturally, he did not understand one word in ten of the Master's frequent prosy homilies to him, or of the Mistress's more melodious speech, yet, from puppyhood, he had been talked to by both of them.
He had the run of the apartment; Dick Sherwood outfitted him liberally with clothing from his superabundance of the best; Judkins and the other servants treated him as the member of the family which they had been informed he was; the lively Dick, with his puppy-like friendliness, asked never an uncomfortable question, and placed Larry almost on the footing of a chum; and the whimsically smiling Miss Sherwood treated Larry exactly as she might have treated any well-bred gentleman and in every detail made good on her promise to give him a chance.
They would be answered from different parts of the jungle and often sounded from half a dozen places simultaneously. At last we succeeded in locating the animals.

After that Thor went up the slope as if the cub had never been lost at all, and Muskwa followed him happily.
She had to beg very hard, for the yard rather scared him. But when he saw tears in Desiree's eyes, he yielded. She threw herself on his neck in a sudden puppy-like burst of glee, laughing more than ever, without attempting to dry her cheeks. 'Oh! how nice you are! she stammered, as she dragged him off.

Trove was Bluebell's confidant and the repository of her woes, and perhaps as safe a one as young ladies generally choose.
In answer to their question, "What is it?" a Mexican cow-hand, present said it was a Coyotito that is, a "little Coyote," and this, afterward shortened to "Tito," became the captive's name.
