CHAPTER VIII. 
THE DOGS. 
The lecture upon dogs did not come quite 
so soon as the children had anticipated. 
The next day being Sunday, they had none, 
of course; hut after their usual Sunday 
lessons were finished they occupied them¬ 
selves in searching the Bible for allusions 
to dogs and wolves, and made out quite a 
list, to be ready against the next evening. 
“I think the lecture upon dogs will he 
the most interesting of the whole,” said 
Sidney. “There are so many beautiful 
stories about dogs, and they have such 
curious ways. I hope nothing will happen 
to prevent our hearing it.” 
“I have a kind of feeling that something 
will,” remarked Annie. “I have an idea 
that we shall have company to-morrow: I 
don’t know why, unless because we have 
been without so long.”
