I have heard of quail on toast, but I never heard of turkey on newspaper." "Hadn't we better go to bed ?" said Miss Laura, when the hall clock struck eleven.
"Yes, I suppose we had," said Miss Bessie.

"Where is this animal to sleep ?" "I don't know," said Miss Laura; "he sleeps in the stable at home, or in the kennel with Jim." "Suppose Susan makes him a nice bed by the kitchen stove ?" said Miss Bessie.
Susan made the bed, but I was not willing to sleep in it.

I barked so loudly when they shut me up alone, that they had to let me go upstairs with them.
Miss Laura was almost angry with me, but I could not help it.

I had come over there to protect her, and I wasn't going to leave her, if I could help it.
Miss Bessie had a handsomely furnished room, with a soft carpet on the floor, and pretty curtains at the windows.

There were two single beds in it, and the two girls dragged them close together, so that they could talk after they got in bed.
Before Miss Bessie put out the light, she told Miss Laura not to be alarmed if she heard any one walking about in the night, for the nurse was sleeping across the hall from them, and she would probably come in once or twice to see if they were sleeping comfortably.
The two girls talked for a long time, and then they fell asleep.
