As Charlie approached the dog retired slowly toward the house, his head thrown back, and his rapid barking increased to a long-drawn howl. "Good boy, come! Bother the brute! He'll wake up the whole household! Nice doggie! Phe-e " The noise, however, had no apparent effect upon the occupants of the house. All remained as dark and silent as ever.
And when the A.P.M. and his satellites passed by, the quiet of The Whip in Hand was the holy peace of a nunnery. Doggie and Mo Shendish and a few other staunch souls got McPhail back to quarters without much trouble. On parting, the delinquent, semi-sobered, shook Doggie by the hand and smiled with an air of great affection. "I've been verra drunk, laddie.
And Doggie, who had learned many of the lessons in human psychology which the army teaches, knew that Oliver's genial, familiar talk was not all due to his appreciation of their social equality in the bosom of their own family, but that he would have treated much the same any Tommy into whose companionship he had been casually thrown.
"I do," said the soldier. "It is about Peter Pan. A kind of Fairy Tale. You can see the 'little people' peeping out I think you call them so in Ireland." "We do that," said the soldier. So Doggie sketched the outline of the immortal story of the Boy Who Will Never Grow Old, and the Irishman listened with deep interest.
So, my doggie, you shall keep watch here until I return." The day had become very sultry by the time I went out to visit my patients. The sky was overcast with dark thunderous clouds, and, as there seemed every chance of a heavy shower, I returned to my lodgings for an umbrella. "Oh, Mr Mellon!" exclaimed my landlady, as I entered the lobby, "was there ever a greater blessin' oh!
At the very last she said, sadly: "The Queen will have to come to Edinburgh to see Bobby." "The bonny wee wad be a prood doggie, yer Leddyship," Mistress Jeanie managed to stammer, but Mr. Brown was beyond speech. The Grand Leddy said nothing.
"Tell us who this Munchkin boy is," suggested Ozma. Ruggedo looked at the boy and shook his head. "He's a stranger to me. You are all strangers. I I'm a stranger to myself," he said. Then he patted the Lion's head and murmured, "Good doggie!" and the Lion growled indignantly. "What shall we do with him?" asked the Wizard, perplexed.
"Now, Cuffy," said he, patting the terrier gently, "rouse up, my doggie; we must make a brave struggle for life. It's neck or nothing this time. If we touch that reef in passing, Cuff, you an' I shall be food for the sharks to-night, an' it's my opinion that the shark as gits us won't have much occasion to boast of his supper." The sailor ceased speaking abruptly.
'Lend me half-a-sovereign, will you, doggie? She called him doggie in those days because he was a sort of dog-man, a sort of St Bernard, shaggy and big, with faithful eyes; and he enjoyed being called doggie. But on this occasion he was not to be bewitched by the enchanting innocence of the smile nor by the endearing epithet. He refused to relax his features.
Is there anything more comical than a young Scotch terrier puppy, with its preternatural gravity, its queer, ungainly attempts at play, its tumbles, and blue-eyed simplicity, and, best of all, its sage look, with head on one side, trying to consider the merits of some doggie idea which is puzzling his infant brain?
