"Upstairs," said Daphne.

"He did- er- see Berry then?"

"Yes."

"Er- how did he see him? I mean- hang it, I didn't bring the
beastly ram there."

"You left him there," said Daphne.

"I know: but you can't pick up every tame ram you meet.

Besides- "

"Tame!" said Jonah. "Good Lord!"

He saw Berry, you say? Did he see him well?"

"I think he'd have seen him home, if it hadn't been for the
brook."

"Courteous beast. He saw him as far as that, did he?"

"He saw him half-way across."

I regret to say I laughed so immoderately that I never noticed
that Berry had entered the room, until he clapped me on the
shoulder.
