Chapter II
ON THE LABRADOR _Dictated by Mr. Jesse Smith_ Don't you write anything down yet, 'cause I ain't ready. If I wrote this yarn myself, I'd make it good and red from tip to tip, claws out, teeth bare, fur crawling with emotions. It wouldn't be dull, no, or evidence. But then it's to please you, and that's what I'm for. So I proceeds to stroke the fur smooth, lay the paws down soft, fold up the smile, and purr.
