That was Trotsey's business, to walk dogs, and Miss Ball got a great many fashionable young ladies who could not exercise their dogs, to let Trotsey have them, and they said that it made a great difference in the health and appearance of their pets.
Trotsey got fifteen cents an hour for a dog.

Goodness, what appetites those walks gave us, and didn't we make the dog biscuits disappear?
But it was a slow life at Miss Ball's.

We only saw her for a little while every day.

She slept till noon.

After lunch she played with us for a little while in the greenhouse, then she was off driving or visiting, and in the evening she always had company, or went to a dance, or to the theatre.
