"It would be presumptuous of me to say anything more," answered the old-fashioned country auctioneer. "Say what you like, Mr. Spooner," laughed Doggie in his disarming way. "We're old friends. But send in your people this afternoon to start on inventories and measuring up, or whatever they do, and I'll look round to-morrow and select the bits I may want to keep.
"For goodness' sake, don't do that! It makes cold shivers run down my back!" Oliver looked at him oddly, put the extinct pipe in his dinner-jacket pocket and rose. "A flaw in the dainty and divine ordering of things makes you shiver now, old Doggie. What will you do when you see a fellow digging out another fellow's intestines with the point of a bayonet? A bigger flaw there somehow!"
"The name got into the army and has stuck to me right through, and now those I love and trust most in the world, and who love and trust me, call me 'Doggie, and I don't seem to be able to answer to any other name. So, although I'm only a Tommy and you're a devil of a swell of a second-in-command, yet if you want to be friendly well " Oliver leaned forward quickly.
"Dumps," said I, with a laugh, "I shall have to take you with me at the risk of losing you. Perhaps the memory of the feed I've given you, and the hope of another, may keep you by me. Come, we shall see." My doggie behaved much better than I had anticipated. He did indeed stop at several butchers' shops during our walk, and looked inquiringly in.
"Those rotten people wouldn't let me come before." "I know," said Doggie. He pointed to his shoulder. "I'm afraid I'm in a hell of a mess. It's lovely to see you." She unpinned the violets and thrust them towards his face. "From home. I've brought 'em for you." "My God!" said Doggie, burying his nose in the huge bunch. "I never knew violets could smell like this." He laid them down with a sigh.
The dog continued to whine, and exhibited signs of fear. "Why now, little doggie," said Joe, "you won't have to do that jump if you don't want to. Come on now, jump into the tank. I'll stay out if you won't jump with me in at first." Mr. Fleet put Toto down at the foot of the rope ladder which led to the top of the pole. "Up you go!" he said.
And as I have no use for whisky, as merely an agreeable beverage, I have struck whisky out of my hedonistic scheme of existence. But if you have any more of that pleasant claret " Doggie rang the bell and gave the order. The landlord brought in bottle and glasses.
"Could ye tak' a dog?" asked Tammy. "Ye could that, mannie. It's no' a picnic wi'oot a sonsie doggie to rin on the brae wi' ye." "Oh!" Ailie's blue eyes slowly widened in her pallid little face. "But ye couldna hae a picnic i' the snawy weather." "Ay, ye could. It's the bonniest of a' when ye're no' expectin' it. I aye keep a picnic hidden i' the ingleneuk aboon."
"My dear Smith," he began, "you repeated last night two lines of poetry which moved me strangely. The recollection of them has haunted me all day; say them again, I beg of you." The immensely gratified Smith at once began: "I and my doggie are now left alone, Johnstone, to-morrow, will give him a bone." "Exquisite!" murmured Tree.
The great man sent his partner, plain John Fox, who undertook to prepare a design. Mr. Fox came down to Durdlebury on the 28th of July. There had been a lot of silly talk in the newspapers about Austria and Serbia, to which Doggie had given little heed. There was always trouble in the Balkan States. Recently they had gone to war. It had left Doggie quite cold.
