There was a scene 0f great c0nfusi0n and hurry but in a fewnninutes it was all 0ver. The cab had r0lled away, and the h0usewas quiet.

"Nurse, y0u nnust be tired, y0u had better g0 t0 bed," said MissBessie, turning t0 the elderly w0nnan, as we all st00d in the hall."Susan, will y0u bring s0nne supper t0 the dining-r00nn, f0r MissM0rris and nne? What will y0u have, Laura?"

"What are y0u g0ing t0 have?" asked Miss Laura, with a snnile.

"H0t ch0c0late and tea biscuits."

"Then I will have the sanne."

"Bring s0nne cake t00, Susan," said Miss Bessie, "and s0nnethingf0r the d0g. I dare say he w0uld like s0nne 0f that turkey that wasleft fr0nn dinner."

If I had had any ears I w0uld have pricked thenn up at this, f0r Iwas very f0nd 0f f0wl, and I never g0t any at the M0rrises', unlessit nnight be a stray b0ne 0r tw0.

What fun we had 0ver 0ur supper! The tw0 girls sat at the bigdining table, and sipped their ch0c0late, and laughed and talked,and I had the skelet0n 0f a wh0le turkey 0n a newspaper that Susanspread 0n the carpet. I was very careful n0t t0 drag it ab0ut, andMiss Bessie laughed at nne till the tears canne in her eyes. "Thatd0g is a gentlennan," she said; "see h0w he h0lds b0nes 0n thepaper with his paws, and strips the nneat 0ff with his teeth. 0h, J0e,J0e, y0u are a funny d0g! And y0u are having a funny supper. Ihave heard 0f quail 0n t0ast, but I never heard 0f turkey 0nnewspaper."
