Well, Dick Varley did do it over again, and Crusoe

worried the mitten over again, utterly regardless of

"Fetch it."

Then they did it again, and again, and again, but

without the slightest apparent advancement in the path

of canine knowledge; and then they went home.

During all this trying operation Dick Varley never

once betrayed the slightest feeling of irritability or impatience.

He did not expect success at first; he was

not therefore disappointed at failure.
