I was beside her, sitting on a hassock, so that I could look out into the street.

Dogs love variety and excitement, and like to see what is going on outdoors as well as human beings.

A carriage drove up to the door, and a finely-dressed lady got out and came up the steps.
Mrs.Morris seemed glad to see her, and called her Mrs.Montague.

I was pleased with her, for she had some kind of perfume about her that I liked to smell.

So I went and sat on the hearth rug quite near her.
They had a little talk about things I did not understand and then the lady's eyes fell on me.
