"
That
was
the
whole
secret
,
"
replied
Mrs.
Weldon
.
"
It
is
very
simple
,
like
all
that
is
done
in
the
matter
of
prestidigitation
.
In
case
of
the
American
's
absence
,
Munito
would
be
no
longer
Munito
.
I
am
,
then
,
astonished
,
his
master
not
being
there
--
if
,
indeed
,
the
traveler
,
Samuel
Vernon
,
has
ever
been
its
master
--
that
Dingo
could
have
recognized
those
two
letters
.
"
"
In
fact
,
"
replied
Captain
Hull
,
"
it
is
very
astonishing
.
But
,
take
notice
,
there
are
only
two
letters
in
question
here
,
two
particular
letters
,
and
not
a
word
chosen
by
chance
.
After
all
,
that
dog
which
rang
at
the
door
of
a
convent
to
take
possession
of
the
plate
intended
for
the
poor
passers-by
,
that
other
which
commissioned
at
the
same
time
with
one
of
its
kind
,
to
turn
the
spit
for
two
days
each
,
and
which
refused
to
fill
that
office
when
its
turn
had
not
come
,
those
two
dogs
,
I
say
,
advanced
farther
than
Dingo
into
that
domain
of
intelligence
reserved
for
man
.
Besides
,
we
are
in
the
presence
of
an
inscrutable
fact
.
Of
all
the
letters
of
that
alphabet
,
Dingo
has
only
chosen
these
two
:
S
and
V
.
The
others
it
does
not
even
seem
to
know
Therefore
we
must
conclude
that
,
for
a
reason
which
escapes
us
,
its
attention
has
been
especially
drawn
to
those
two
letters
.
"
"
Ah
!
Captain
Hull
,
"
replied
the
young
novice
,
"
if
Dingo
could
speak
!
Perhaps
he
would
tell
us
what
those
two
letters
signify
,
and
why
it
has
kept
a
tooth
ready
for
our
head
cook
.
"
"
And
what
a
tooth
!
"
replied
Captain
Hull
,
as
Dingo
,
opening
its
mouth
,
showed
its
formidable
fangs
.
It
will
be
remembered
that
this
singular
incident
was
made
,
more
than
once
,
the
subject
of
conversation
held
in
the
stern
of
the
"
Pilgrim
"
between
Mrs.
Weldon
,
Captain
Hull
,
and
the
young
novice
.
The
latter
,
more
particularly
,
experienced
an
instinctive
mistrust
with
regard
to
Negoro
,
whose
conduct
,
meanwhile
,
merited
no
reproach
.
In
the
prow
they
talked
of
it
also
,
but
they
did
not
draw
from
it
the
same
conclusions
.
There
,
among
the
ship
's
crew
,
Dingo
passed
merely
for
a
dog
that
knew
how
to
read
,
and
perhaps
even
write
,
better
than
more
than
one
sailor
on
board
.
As
for
talking
,
if
he
did
not
do
it
,
it
was
probably
for
good
reasons
that
he
kept
silent
.
"
But
,
one
of
these
fine
days
,
"
says
the
steersman
,
Bolton
,
"
one
fine
day
that
dog
will
come
and
ask
us
how
we
are
heading
;
if
the
wind
is
to
the
west-north-west-half-north
,
and
we
will
have
to
answer
him
!
There
are
animals
that
speak
!
Well
,
why
should
not
a
dog
do
as
much
if
he
took
it
into
his
head
?
It
is
more
difficult
to
talk
with
a
beak
than
with
a
mouth
!
"
"
No
doubt
,
"
replied
the
boatswain
,
Howik
.
"
Only
it
has
never
been
known
.
"
It
would
have
astonished
these
brave
men
to
tell
them
that
,
on
the
contrary
,
it
had
been
known
,
and
that
a
certain
Danish
servant
possessed
a
dog
which
pronounced
distinctly
twenty
words
.
But
whether
this
animal
comprehended
what
he
said
was
a
mystery
.
Very
evidently
this
dog
,
whose
glottis
was
organized
in
a
manner
to
enable
him
to
emit
regular
sounds
,
attached
no
more
sense
to
his
words
than
do
the
paroquets
,
parrots
,
jackdaws
,
and
magpies
to
theirs
.
