"H'm, we see, missy, we see," said Dido, darkly. "But why you marry dis man I no like?" "No, I don't—don't—need any dog," I said softly, hardly glancing out from under my lashes, because I was afraid to risk looking straight at him again so soon. I could fairly feel Aunt Adeline's eyes boring into my back. "Rubbish, my boy. It has been hanging on the wall for years, and has never hurt anyone yet!"
