And that’s pretty well how I view the public’s reaction to that other case we were speaking about. Sniff, sniff, blubber, blubber.
Anyway, here’s the new chapter of LOAAS.
LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE AND SANDYBy Harold Gray, 1933CHAPTER 18 – Making a Final Check-up
That night, on the Millburg road, Tom Take made his final check-up. From the distance sounded the roar of a motor and the swish as it passed. Elmer Pinchpenny saw no one as he sped along. As soon as he had gone, one of the bushes began to move, and Tom Take crept out. “Yep! Elmer Pinchpenny,” he said. “And it’s just the same time Annie said he passes this spot nearly every night. That’s the bird who tried to kill Sandy! Driving way off the road to hit him. Well, I think he made a big mistake. If it had been some folks’ dog, It might have been forgotten, but Annie’s not the kind who stands for a raw trick like that.”
There was just one more day left until Annie’s revenge would be complete. As Annie left for school that morning, she stopped to cheer Sandy up. “Now you just take it easy and you’ll be walking in a few days,” she said. “And don’t worry, Sandy. We’re going to square things with Elmer mighty soon now, I think.”
In the meantime, at his place, Tom Take was carefully inspecting the iron dog. “As Annie says,” he thought, “that old iron dog would look a lot like Sandy at night, ‘specially if he had a bandage around his left hind leg.”
During that day, while Annie sat in the schoolroom almost bursting with impatience, Tom Take went about his affairs as usual. The only thing that anyone might have noticed was that sometime during the day he borrowed a truck which had to be returned the next day. And if anyone had gone into that strange cluttered yard of his, he would have seen Tom Take moving the iron dog with a heavy tackle and putting it on the back of the truck. “Whew!” said Tom. “Even a locomotive would have a tough jolt shovin’ this dog around.”
