I think you might put him in, Betty," she urged.

"I'd do as much for you, if it was something you had set your heart on.
_Please_, Betty!" she begged.
"But he won't fit anywhere!" said Betty, in a distressed tone.

"I'd put him in, gladly, if he'd only go, but, don't you see, Lloyd, he isn't appropriate.

It would spoil the whole thing to drag him in." "I don't see why," said Lloyd, a trifle sharply.

"Isn't it going to be a Red Cross entahtainment, and isn't Hero a Red Cross dog?
I think it's _very_ appropriate for him to have a part, even one of the principal ones." "I can't think of a single thing for him to do--" began Betty.
"You can if you try hard enough," insisted Lloyd.
Betty sighed hopelessly, and turned to her lunch in silence.
