Page "belles_lettres" Paragraph 796

Every day, when the President took his nap, Rob Roy would stretch out on the window seat near him, like a perfect gentleman, and stare thoughtfully out the window, or he would take a little nap himself.

He would not make a sound until the President had wakened and left for the office ; ;

then he would bark to let everyone know the coast was clear.

His signal was for the other dogs to come running, but it was also the signal for Mama and the other maids to watch out.
