"You think a great deal of that horse," said Jack. "You want to be constantly on your guard or something will happen to it."
"Toots is on the watch, and any one will have hard work getting the best of that darky. He is about as sharp as they make 'em."
"He is a very clever coon," admitted Harry; "and
he seems to know his business, still you can't tell what may happen."
"I wouldn't have anything happen to Nemo for worlds. I don't quite understand why I think so much of that horse, but he is a wonderfully intelligent creature."
"Don't tell that you care so much for him. If your enemies were to find it out they would scheme to fix Nemo."
"I'd have no mercy on the person that injured that horse."
"What's the matter with your dog, Jack?" asked Robinson. "He is acting in a very queer manner."
Prince was sniffing at the door, whining and growling, while the hair on his neck bristled in a significant manner.
Diamond got up and quickly approached the door. In a moment he flung it open, and out shot Prince.
