One of the servants of the house, seeing Lord Killcrichtoun’s face at the window, came out to him.
“Do you know if Mr. Hammond is in the house just now?” inquired Alexander.
“Yes, sir; he is in the reading-room.”
“Take in my card and ask him if he will do me the favor to come out.”
The waiter vanished, and Dick soon made his appearance at the cab door.
“Oh, Dick! I have found him!” exclaimed Alick, pointing to the child.
“Little Lenny! Thank God!” cried Dick, jerking open the door, jumping into the cab, and seizing little Lenny and seating himself.
“Oh, Dit! Dit! Lenny tome home see Doosa! Met tome too! Lenny wide in tab! Met wide too! Lenny not leave Met! Lenny love Met!”
And so the child prattled on, patting Dick’s cheeks, and pulling his whiskers, and kissing him.
“Oh, I am so glad! Where did you find him, Alick? How was it? Tell me all about it!”
