And she rang the bell.

"Tell Thomas to come and fetch this dog away to the stable-yard," she
said to the maid who answered the bell.

"Scamp always stayed in the room with me at Amber Hill," said Hetty, two
red spots burning in her cheeks.

"You must learn to remember that you are no longer at Amber Hill," said
Miss Davis.

Phyllis and Nell now came into the school-room and looked greatly
surprised at sight of the dog, Hetty's angry face, and Miss Davis's
looks of high displeasure. They took their places in silence at the
breakfast table.

"I am not likely to forget it," retorted Hetty bitterly. "At Amber Hill
everybody was kind to me. Nobody is kind here."

"You are a most ungrateful girl," said Miss Davis. "What would have
become of you if Mr. and Mrs. Enderby had not been kind?"

At this moment Thomas entered.

"Take away that dog to the stable-yard," said Miss Davis.

Hetty threw her arms round Scamp's neck and clung to him.

"You shall not turn him out," she cried. "He came and found me, and I
will not give him up."
