"It's a murderin' shame, as cook would say," Bess declared. "Let's let him out."
"Oh, no! we mustn't—not till we've asked leave."
"Well, who'll we ask?" demanded Bess.
"The baggage-man, of course," said Nan, jumping up. "I believe he's hungry, too."
"Who? the baggage-man?" giggled Bess.
"The puppy, of course," returned Nan.
"We'll feed him some of our pie," suggested Bess.
"He ought to have some warm milk," Nan said seriously.
"Oh, indeed!" exclaimed her chum. "Well, Nan Sherwood, I don't think anybody's thought to milk the cow this morning."
