“Were you very much afraid?” asked Ben.
“Wasn’t I just? I thought the dog was going to bite me. Were you frightened?”
“I was at first, but I forgot all about it when I saw your danger.”
“This wasn’t the coat you threw over the dog’s head?”
“No; I gave that to a boy who asked for it.”
“You wouldn’t want to wear it again?”
“No. It would always make me think of the mad dog.”
“Have you got any little brothers?”
“No; I wish I had. I should like a little brother like you.”
“Do you live in the city?” asked Mrs. Wentworth of Adelbert.
