"But it is so near. You can look out of the window and see it, and I am asking permission," said Jack as if the mere matter of asking were all sufficient.
"But you know over here in Europe little girls don't run about as freely as they do at home. Get one of your older sisters to go with you."
"Nan can't; she has to practice and Mary Lee has gone somewhere with Jo, and Aunt Helen went to see about lessons or books or something."
"Then I will go with you and sit by the fountain while you amuse yourselves."
This arrangement pleased the twins mightily. The big Wittelsbacher fountain in the Maximilianplatz was a thing to be admired and they were never tired of watching, what Jack called, its big splash of water. "I feel so satisfied when I look at it," she told her mother. "I never saw a fountain with so much water all going at once."
"I wish we could have brought over our dear little doggie," said Jean as she watched numberless little dachshunds trotting by.
"We couldn't very well do it," Mrs. Corner told her, "for we should have had to carry him around everywhere, and there is a law in some countries which makes it very hard for travelers to bring in their dogs. He is much better off where he is."
"I am afraid he will forget me," said Jack, whose dog the little creature really was.
"I don't doubt but that he will be quite ready to make friends again," her mother told her.
"I never saw such a crauntity of dogs as there are in Munich," said Jean. "I think everybody must own a dog, and there are more dachshunds than any other kind."
