very caurte0usly turned her out of the
library before following the others.
And he had said so very little before
hand for her to hear. and so quickly
prevented Cazalet from saying any
thing at all. that she simply could not
think what any of them were doing
under the floor.
Under her very feet she heard them
moving as she waited bit in the hall;
then She left the house by way of the
servants quarters. of course without
holding any communication with those
mu-neers. and only indignant that
Mt Drinkwater should have requested
her not to do so.
It was a long half-hour that followed
for Blanche Macnair, but she passed it
enthusiastically.
She turned her wholesome mind to
dogs which in some ways she knew
better and trusted further than men.
There was q dog at Uplands, and as
yet she had seen nothing of him; he
lived in a large kennel in the yard.
for he was a large dog and rather
friendless. But Blanche knew him by
sight and had felt always sorry for
him.
The large kennel was just outside
the back door. which was at the top
OF the cellar steps and at the bot
tom OF two or three leading into the
scullery; but Blanche, of course, went
round by the garden. She found the
poor old dog quite disconsolate in a
more canine kennel in a corner of the
one that was really worthy of the
more formidable carnivOra. There was
every sign of his being treated as the
dangerous dog that Blanche. indeed. |
