Page:My last friend, dog Dick (IA mylastfrienddogd00deam).pdf/38

30 of life and work? Will you remember? Will you do all this, good Dick, faithful companion of mine, dear comfort of my solitude and my work?

Ah, your straight and shining eyes say "Yes" to me. Your tongue that searches my face tells me more than it would if you could talk, and your wagging tail is promising it to me. And I thank you. And now go. They have rung the bell, I know who it is. It's a gentleman who comes to read me a manuscript. You can salute him with your bark.
