"I must show you a new trick Snap has learned."
"What! Another trick?" cried Dorothy. "My! He knows a lot of them now.
He certainly is a clever dog!"
Snap, as I have told you, used to belong to a circus before the
Bobbseys bought him, so perhaps learning tricks came easier to him
than to most dogs.
"Yes, I taught him this trick myself," went on Nan. "He will walk
around on his hind legs, and carry a doll in his front paws, just like
a nurse girl. When I dress him up in one of my old skirts and a
jacket, he is too funny for anything! I'll make him do the trick now,
only I won't dress him up, for I can't find the clothes he wears. I
don't believe we brought them. But I'll make him carry the doll for
you. Here, Snap!" called Nan.
The dog, who had been sleeping in a sunny Spot on deck, near Snoop,
the black cat, sprang up, when he heard his name called.
"Where are you going to get a doll for him to carry?" asked Dorothy.
"I'll take Flossie's. You'll let sister take your doll to make Snap do
a trick, won't you, dear?" she asked.
"Yes, Nan," answered flaxen-haired Flossie. "I just love to see Snap
do that trick! He carries the doll so cute!"
Flossie brought her doll to Nan, and Snap stood near, wagging his
tail, for he seemed to know what was coming.
"Now, Snap," said Nan, pointing her finger at the dog, "I want you to
show Dorothy how you play nurse-girl, and carry a doll.
