Isabelle giggled. She couldn't help it. Her
father absolutely Stayed her when he was like
this. 1t was better than a movie.
Il see nothing funny about it, he said,
still believing, and Isabelle realized too late
that she should not have laughed. Her father
was the most marvellous male parent in the
world, but he had his moments when he could
be as unreasonable as an ordinary parent.
This was one of those moments.

"Spencer!" Rosalie Cummings stopped
him. Her emotions toward Ivan were neutral
but her husbands exaggerations could not be
borne any longer in silence. mo matter what
your feelings for the dog, it's absurd to say
he isn't beautiful"
This mild protest was as great mistake
as Isabelle's giggle. 1t sent Spencer soaring

We'll" she finished lamely, this is Ivan's
home: it isn't humanitarian to send him OFT

Her father did not let this opening pass
Next to a vegetable" he said, Ivan is the
least animate living thing l have ever laid
my eyes on And he cares just about as much
for his home as a turnip would"
i HIS last remark, Isabelle had to admit,
was pretty close to the truth. Ivan would be
just as happy if the word happy could be
applied to him, someplace else. AS last re-
sort she tried direct appeal to the emotions
of her father Flinging herself on Ivan, who
sighed ugubriously and rested his long white
muzze on his long white paws, she demanded
with a fake sob:
Doesn't anybody care about my feelings"
Her answer was zip from Pepper, who
was outraged at her daring to make fuss
over Ivan. The Cummingses burst into
laughter Rosalie said: That's our dog, the
one we all love-"
Feeling that Pepper had cleared the atmos-
phere for everybody, Spencer said briskly.
And now about Ivan. Finding him a
home is problem. He seems to be more than

up to. So" Spencer carefully avoided the

his mind was already made up. She'd just
change his mind for him in a subtle sort of
way.
Nov don't you worry about Ivan, she
reassured Mamie and, opening the door for
Pepper to precede her, she went off to the
living room.
They entered place of silence Isabelle's
mother sat at the desk, jabbing pencil into

glared at Ivan; Ivan, snowy white and beau

of the tense atmosphere.

tered as Ivan's jaw dropped and Ivan began
to pant in laCkadaisical manner. Look at
that profile - like a pair of plush garden
shears!'
WHY Father" Isabelle, beginning her
subtle approach, pretended to be shocked.
