“Oh that is a little girl visiting us. My wife’s cousin is spending a week in Calgary and has brought an animated bunch of Alberta sage-brush with her.” Jethro, lying on a mat at the door, was contentedly gnawing a bone. Nancy, having finished her milk, and still enjoying its flavor from her whiskers, as Betty remarked, stealthily approached her canine playmate.

He’s crazy over music, and she got his father to let him take lessons, and that kid’s her slave ever since.

Flash just mewed again, low as before, and walked off round the house. And Tom went and ate his breakfast.”.
