Betty's Discovery
Molly and Douglas were up in an apple tree in the orchard late one afternoon, when Betty and Prince came rushing by.
'Hullo, where are you going?' shouted Douglas.
Betty came to a standstill, and Prince likewise, the latter putting his tongue out and looking up inquiringly, as he panted for breath.
Betty cut a caper. 'I'm going to spend the day with Miss Fairfax to-morrow; me and Prince, hurray!'
And Prince danced round his little mistress's legs with delighted barks.
'I don't believe it,' said Molly, looking down through the leafy branches; 'didn't she ask us too?'
'No, only me; she said she'd ask you another day.'
'Where did you see Miss Fairfax?'
'In church; she has been making the loveliest music, and Prince and I have been singing.'
