Amongst the puppies one black one there

was, a little gipsy girl, and so it was

decided than that she would be a gift to

some fair-haired, long-legged friend to

keep his social instincts sharp and

practical and thus his life too complicated.

He nevertheless gladly accepted this

friendly offer knowing most certainly to

have than a tough responsibility for at

least the coming decade, but than probably

good company as well. And while he

already started preparations to welcome

her in her new home when she was old

enough to say farewell to gods and

country, she immediately began a quick

intellectual education to beat him in wit

and future high tea conversation.
