"We're not going to have her here in the holidays," announced Puggy; "we don't want to see her, or hear anything about her. She's nothing to do with us."
"She has a good deal to do with me," said Christina warmly; "and if you don't like to have her here, I shall go to Miss Bertha's to see her."
"All right, you can; but you'll have to be here when I want you, because you belong to me."
This statement of Puggy's always annoyed Christina.
"I'd rather belong to Dawn than to you," she said.
"But you can't. Scotland is joined on to England, and England comes first. I'm the most important one."
"I wonder what Susy is," said Christina. "She isn't Scotch I'm afraid."
"She doesn't belong to the United Kingdom," said Puggy with decision.
"She must be one of us. I think she's English," said Christina.
"No she isn't. I won't own her," snapped Puggy.
