huggy

As the trio passed I recognised the centre one to be Huggy the Tailless.

Huggy almost squeaked again, it was so very sad—and painful.

Beside the loaf was a box of matches, and Huggy could not be happy till he had found out what was inside.

Huggy found it rather rough on his back going down the ladder, but, with a good supper in view, he could bear most things.

There, in a corner which Huggy had not noticed before, lay a huge dog half asleep!
