"We object to the uncovered hide of the pig, and to his small eyes; but can they not see as well as those of the fawn, or the delicate lapdog we fondle all day on our knees? It is unjust that one animal should be treated with less regard than another."，"If he claims my wife for another dance, I'll——" begins Geoffrey.，CHAPTER XIV IN THE HAUNTED HOUSEShe opened the bookcase and there saw a book on which was written in letters of gold:—

"Poor old Daddy," Erie laughed, coming around to sit on the arm of his chair. "It does seem too bad you can't have your smoke.

Carlstrom looked straight ahead; but when Miss Melling caught sight of Johnny, there was a great to-do.,"Oh, hadn't he then! Well, who up and deliberately stole his horse, I'd like to know?" Mrs. Wilson held her breath waiting for the answer.,At this moment one of the pigeons—a small, pretty thing, bronze-tinged—flies to her, and, resting on her shoulder, makes a tender cooing sound, and picks at her cheek reproachfully, as though imploring more corn.,"A nice time to offer such advice as that," says Rodney, moodily.
