prefer the Boss and this sudden transfer
OF his affections was hard to bear.
All the way home from the station the

press his feelings in a disquieting leap OF
Joy.
Flattered by this marked and unusual
devotion the lady petted and babied the
dog as she had never done before She
played with him and even permitted him
TO chew up one OF the new tennis balls.
