a gray elephant slept insincerely
a jaguar approached cautiously
 
somewhere a stock fell
 
and a little girl was instructed in arithmetic but found it boring
 
just because something happened does not make it important, dr dee explained patiently
 
nor,  dr burton added, is something interesting just because someone takes the trouble to describe it
 
victoria squirmed sullenly in her chair
 
   
      
and wished she were outside lying in the grass, with or without her puppy
 
someone someone someone, she thought 
 
why are they always running on about this so-called someone
 
where is my fancy man?
 
and when will it be time for tea?
       
        *
      
the white dog walked loudly over the polished floor
  
agatha was not amused
  
   
      
but what could she do?
  
lord marsdale had her in his power, at least until the court finally ruled on uncle frederick’s will
  
and that might not be for many years
  
how agatha wished she were a man, or a bird
  
or even the foolish white dog walking loudly over the polished floor
  
sometimes she thought she hated the dog even more than lord marsdale
  
and then suddenly a thought hit her like a thunderbolt
  
    
      
she had never seen lord marsdale and the white dog together!
  
  
whole new vistas opened up before her
