Dandy wasn't capable of getting really angry, but he was as disturbed about having this disease as he could be about anything.

He said that he had got it from a little, mangy dog, that he had played with a few weeks before.

He was only with the dog a little while, and didn't think he would take it, but it seemed he knew what an easy thing it was to get.
Until he got well he was separated from us.

Miss Laura kept him up in the loft with the rabbits, where we could not go; and the boys ran him around the garden for exercise.

She tried all kind of cures for him, and I heard her say that though it was a skin disease, his blood must be purified.
