One other comrade Michael found, although Cocky was no party to the friendship. This was Scraps, the awkward young Newfoundland puppy, who was the property of no one, unless of the schooner Mary Turner herself, for no man, fore or aft, claimed ownership, while every man disclaimed having brought him on board.
And, taking his large, black-plumed hat from the table, he followed the warlike Abbe, who went quickly before him, often running back to hasten him on, like a child running before his father, or a puppy that goes backward and forward twenty times before it gets to the end of a street.
"Think so? Different here. Take a good look at me, June Tolliver." "What for?" Her glance traveled over him disdainfully to the hound puppy chasing its tail. She felt a strange excitement drumming in her veins. "I've seen folks a heap better worth lookin' at." "Because I'm tellin' you to." His big hand caught her chin and swung it back. "Because I'm figurin' on marryin' you right soon."
She deliberately sneered at me, and you you contemptible puppy! you didn't even raise your hat to me after all your sickening, gushing protestations. I want to tell you right now, Dick Mostyn, that you can't walk over me. I'm ready for you, and I'm tired of this whole business." He was wisely silent. She was pale and quivering all over.
Some puppies, as I know from experience, have either died during the six months' interval, or have been drafted to another pack. Therefore it would be far more satisfactory and encouraging to puppy walkers for the judging to be on a day fixed for them to take their young charges to the kennels.

Mrs. Waltham went early to her daughter's room. Adela was sitting with her Bible before her had sat so since coming upstairs, yet had not read three consecutive verses.
Out sallied the warder of the castle, a black greyhound, and, leaping on one of the blocks of stone, began a furious barking. His alarum brought out the whole garrison of dogs: "Both mongrel, puppy, whelp, and hound, And curs of low degree;" all open-mouthed and vociferous.
He delighted in every kind of hardihood; and, in his contempt for effeminacy, once said to his mother: "Better be a savage of some use than a gentle, amorous puppy, obnoxious to all the world." He was far from despising fame; but the controlling principles of his life were duty to his country and his profession, loyalty to the King, and fidelity to his own ideal of the perfect soldier.
'Leave that to me, said the youth. 'I don't think you could make him go, said Tom. 'I'll buy a new pair of spurs, said the puppy. 'Let them be handsome ones, said Tom. 'I was looking at a very handsome pair at Lamprey's, yesterday, said the young gentleman.
And one day those men came again, and said, now for the test, and they took the puppy to the laboratory, and I limped three-leggedly along, too, feeling proud, for any attention shown to the puppy was a pleasure to me, of course.
