Close by was a turnspit dog, which wat--i cbed him very attentively. “ What can you give me to eat V’ said the baron to the hostess. “ Some eggs,” . was the reply.. “No, they are too mawkish.” “A rabbit.” “ That is too indigestible.” The attention of the dog seemed to become more and more directed to the conversation. “Some ham?” “No,” said the baron, “that would make me thirsty.” » “ Some pigeons ?” The dog here stood i up. “No, there is no nourishment in B them.” “ A fowl ?” said the hostess, on b which the dog started hastily out of the| s loom. “What is the matter with the| ijdog?” said the baron. “ Oh. nothing at ■ 3 all,” was the reply “he only wishes to. escape his work, for he knows that if you | decide on a fowl, he will have to turn 1 I the spit.” 1
