He went to look for his father and found him feeding the ’gun-dogs.’ They received their supper with imperturbable pessimism, as if they had been soured by their life-work of putting others in the way of getting what they themselves wanted, and as if they knew that Solomon liked them not for what they were, but for what they did. And as they trailed after Solomon on their leads, day by day, they had an air of being two very old people playing with a small boy. It was evident that when his back was turned glances of amused tolerance were exchanged.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
