[Beautiful Joe by Marshall Saunders]@TWC D-Link bookBeautiful Joe CHAPTER V 28/29
He shall have his dog.
When can you have him ?" "To-morrow, the next day, any day at all.
It makes no difference to me. Let him spend an afternoon and evening with the boys, if you do not object." "It will give me much pleasure," and the little lady bowed and smiled, and after stooping down to pat me, tripped down the steps, and got into her carriage and drove away. Mrs.Morris stood looking after her with a beaming face, and I began to think that I should like Mrs.Montague, too, if I knew her long enough. Two days later I was quite sure I should, for I had a proof that she really liked me.
When her little boy Charlie came to the house, he brought something for me done up in white paper.
Mrs.Morris opened it, and there was a handsome, nickel-plated collar, with my name on it--Beautiful Joe.' Wasn't I pleased! They took off the little shabby leather strap that the boys had given me when I came, and fastened on my new collar, and then Mrs.Morris held me up to a glass to look at myself.
