“Oh!” exclaimed Miss Phyllisy.
“What is it?” asked Pat.
“Orion’s leg is gone; I’ve been expecting it. A wave just went over.”
And another wave followed close, and shoved it back still higher, before it had time to run away out.
“He doesn’t mind,” said the Kitten.
“Not a bit,” said the Princess. “It wasn’t even a likeness. And where are the Comets?”
There wasn’t a sign of one left. And that was a sign that every one else had better be starting!
ORION’S DOGS AND LITTLE BEAR
The name of the big dog was Sirius, and the little one was Procyon. And Orion himself hadn’t so splendid a star as Sirius wore in his collar. Procyon’s wasn’t quite so fine, because he was smaller.
“And they’ve just been over here to see Little Bear, and they’re hurrying to catch up with Orion and be in their own places,” said Phyllisy.
