[Further Adventures of Lad by Albert Payson Terhune]@TWC D-Link bookFurther Adventures of Lad CHAPTER IV 18/48
The wind set away from the house and stables.
There was nothing to worry over.
Ashamed of his own fussiness, the Master went back to his work. As he passed the open study window, on his way indoors, a motion inside made him stop.
He was just in time to see Lady trot into the room, crouch playfully, and then spring full at the stuffed eagle. His shout deflected the young dog's leap, and kept her merrily outstretched jaws from closing on the bird.
