And in the midst of the riot that sweet young lady returned, and snatched up that sweet little dog of hers (he had laid the tyke up for a month, and had on the expression, now, of a new-born lamb) into her arms, and kissed him, and asked him if he was killed, and what those great nasty brutes of dogs had been doing to him; and he nestled up against her, and gazed up into her face with a look that seemed to say: "Oh, I'm so glad you've come to take me away from this disgraceful scene!"
Elle attrapa son adorable toutou (qui, venant de mettre K.O. pour un mois le yorkshire, arborait l’expression d’un agneau nouveauné), le prit dans ses bras, lui demanda s’il n’était pas mort et si ces grandes brutes de chiens ne l’avaient pas martyrisé ; et il se blottissait contre elle, la contemplait avec l’air de dire : « Ah ! Que je suis content que tu sois venue me sauver de cette pénible situation ! »
