Why should I? I had rather let them be! Hark! Yea, Watch, as the dog pricked his ears and raised his graceful head, then sprang up and uttered a deep-mouthed bark.

Emily's was a grave-looking fellow, and we called him 'Gravey. Anne's was a queer little thing, much like herself, and we called him 'Waiting-boy. Branwell chose his, and called him 'Buonaparte."
