Then Nell, who, being angry, desired above all else to put a slight upon me, called me to come to her, speaking roughly as though I had been a servitor, and bade me take a misbehaving puppy dog of hers within doors.
But I was equal with her, and beckoned to me Sandy, her brother, who played about on the grass plots.
'Who may this little girl be that hath the messan dog with her?' I asked of him.
