A sound came in the distance, and Nabber growled again.

I just hope that Nabber has the sense not to fly at a policeman.

Nabber lay down when the two girls had gone and gave a sigh, as if to say 'What a nuisance these children are!

Tom Smith leapt up, and the other man called to Nabber.

And there was the second dog, facing Nabber, ready to fly at him, whichever way he turned.

Nobody would get far with Nabber after him.

Nabber lay down again and put his head on his paws.

So they all sang at the tops of their voices, much to Nabber's amazement.

A great clamour had broken out from the van behind the car, and immediately Nabber went quite mad.

It would be awful if Nabber went for him.'

At once Nabber growled and ran out towards her, showing a set of dazzling white teeth.

Nabber lay full length and stared at Colin, listening.

But Nabber was after him in a jiffy.

Nabber gave a low growl, but Scamper kept quiet.

There was the noise of a scrimmage in the ferns some way away, and then Nabber came flying back to the' children.

Nabber rushed at Scamper and bowled him completely over.

Nabber whined - but he was absolutely obedient.

Nabber howled and tried to get free.

But Nabber didn't go to sleep.

Nabber stood up and began to growl, all his hackles rising on his neck.

As soon as the police car had switched off its engine, the police heard Nabber barking.

At once Nabber growled ferociously, and bared his teeth.

Nabber gave such a horrible growl that she shrieked in fright and went backwards very quickly indeed.

Quite suddenly Sasha leapt on Nabber from behind, and got him by the scruff of his neck.

The man patted Nabber on the head, fondled his ears, and then, as Nabber rolled over in delight, tickled his tummy.
