both under, didn't he, pup?"

Crusoe agreed entirely, and, as if the remark reminded

him of honourable scars, he licked his wound.

"Ah, pup!" cried Dick, sympathetically, "does't hurt

ye, eh, poor dog?"

Hurt him? such a question! No, he should think

not; better ask if that leap from the precipice hurt

yourself.

So Crusoe might have said, but he didn't; he took

no notice of the remark whatever.
