"Say, Beth, you just ought to see him in the water. He loves the water."
"Does he? Let's go down to the river."
This was just what Harvey wished, and therefore he readily consented.
The two started ahead. Don followed majestically.
Mrs. Davenport saw them from the window, and stopped them.
"Where are you going, Beth?"
"Down to the river with Harvey, mamma. Just see what he gave me."
Beth led Don up to the window where her mother was.
"Why, you nice dog, you. He is a beauty. Where did you get him, Harvey? He must be a very valuable dog."
Thereupon the history of Don's discovery was repeated to Mrs. Davenport.
