Rick and Ruddy
CHAPTER I
RICK WANTS A DOG
Rick Dalton sat on the sandy beach tossing white stones and bits of
shell into the little waves that broke almost at his feet. The tide was
just on the turn; soon it would come in, and the big, booming rollers
would drive Rick farther up toward the dunes, where the wind was making
a queer, whistling sound as it bent the long spears of saw-edged grass,
whipping off venturesome, gray hoppers, that had boldly crawled up,
perhaps to get a better view of the heaving ocean.
"I don't care!" murmured Rick, but, from the tone of his voice, and the
look on his face, one might have said that he did care, and very much,
too, about something. But still Rick said: "I don't care!" And he said
it over and over, until it was almost like the song the waves seemed to
sing as they swished up the beach, rolling over and over the white sand,
pebbles and bits of shell, swishing them along as if they, too, didn't
care what happened.
"I don't care!" exclaimed Rick again, as he tossed a larger stone out so
that it fell with a splash near a floating bit of wood, and frightened
away an osprey that was about to swoop down and catch a sea bass which
had ventured too near the surface. "I want a dog! I just want a dog, and
I think mother might let me have one! I don't care!"
