To tell you the truth, I am on the way over to Peterkins'. Sally is the right size and will jump at it." Dolly's lips were tight. Her eyes held a light, half of anger, half of an odd sort of doggedness. "Please unhook me!" she said, coldly. "There is no time to lose. Annie is out of her head with trouble." "Well, well, well!"
