The Black Dog Mystery (1941)
“Mr. Boots Behaves Strangely IT WAS ONLY a quarter of a mile to the paved road, but before they got there, Champ heard a rustle in the woods and began to squirm around in his box, wanting to get down and see what it was. But Djuna kept on pedaling.
“You keep quiet, Champ!” he said sternly. “I’m not going to have you chasing any more rabbits! Next time you’ll fall into a whole tub of paint, probably!”
Djuna’s legs ached by the time he had pumped the bicycle up the long hill over which the paved r...oad led into Clinton, and he was glad to be able to coast down the other slope, into the town. Parking the wheel in front of the police station, he took Champ inside with him. “I’d be ashamed to let anybody see you,” he said severely.
Captain Crackle was still in his office, and looked up as they came in.
“You here again?” he said. Just then he caught sight of Champ. “Holy mackerel!” he exclaimed. “What’s happened to that dog of yours?”
“Oh, nothing much,” said Djuna.MoreLess
