'Tell me how you got it.'
'It was just walking along, and I took its chain. The chain was dragging on the ground.'
'You stole it,' said Dilly.
Archie flew at her, but Edith kept him back.
'Stole it! I didn't! Its master had walked on and evidently didn't care a bit about it, poor thing. That's not stealing.'
'If Master Archie wants to keep a lot of dogs, he had better take them with him to school,' said the nurse. 'I don't want nothing to do with no dogs, not in this nursery.'
'There's only one thing to be done, Archie; you must take care of it for the next day or two, and I shall advertise in the paper for its master.'
'Oh, mother!'
'Don't you see it isn't even honest to keep it?'
Archie was bitterly disappointed, but consoled at the idea of seeing the advertisement in the paper.
