“I know whom I love, and whom I do not,” said Josephine. “And if you should drive me to choose between you and everybody else, I should be a fool to give myself to you.”
DINGO ♂
Canis familiaris var.
NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA
“Poor little Dingo,” said Cromartie. “They do shut up creatures here on the thinnest pretexts. He is only the familiar dog.”
The Dingo whined, and wagged his tail. He knew that he was being spoken of.
Josephine turned from her lover to the Dingo, and her face softened as she looked at it.
“I suppose they have got to have everything here, every single kind of beast there is, even if it turns out to be nothing but an ordinary dog.”
They left the Dingo, walked to the next cage, and stood side by side looking at the creature in it.
“The slender dog,” said Josephine, reading the label. She laughed, and the slender dog got up and walked away.
