never happy unless Fido was in her arms
But, as has been known to happen before
Elizabeth trippcd one day, whether II
error or truth, / know not; but, anyway
she fell to the bottom of the stairs. He
mother, hearing the thump of the tw
small bodies, little Elizabeth's muttcring
and the barking of Fido, rushed to TN
rescue, crying out in her motherly anXict
and terror, "Oh, Bettykins, are you hurt,
