And so it was you who disturbed the house last night, frightening us all out of our senses, and getting me scolded for giving an alarm.

Wait till Mr.
Enderby hears about it." "You are _very_ unkind," said Hetty; "as if I could help his coming in the night-time!" "And I suppose you could not help letting him into the house and taking him into your bed ?" said Lucy scornfully.
"No, I couldn't," said Hetty.

"And you can go and tell Mr.Enderby as soon as you please." At this Lucy flounced out of the room quite determined to complain of the enormity of Hetty's conduct.
When the little girl appeared in the school-room with Scamp following at her heels she was not in the best of tempers, and held her chin very high in the air.

Miss Davis met her with a stern face.
"Hetty, what is this I hear of you?
How could you dare to bring a strange dog into the house in the middle of the night ?" "It wasn't a strange dog; it was Scamp," said Hetty, putting on her most defiant air.

"I don't think it was any harm to let him in." "Not, though I tell you it was ?" said Miss Davis.
"No," said Hetty.
"Then I must ask Mrs.Enderby to talk to you," said Miss Davis.
"Meantime the dog cannot stay here while we are at breakfast." And she rang the bell.
"Tell Thomas to come and fetch this dog away to the stable-yard," she said to the maid who answered the bell.
"Scamp always stayed in the room with me at Amber Hill," said Hetty, two red spots burning in her cheeks.
"You must learn to remember that you are no longer at Amber Hill," said Miss Davis.
Phyllis and Nell now came into the school-room and looked greatly surprised at sight of the dog, Hetty's angry face, and Miss Davis's looks of high displeasure.
