She wanted to have it removed from the stables to the schoolroom, but Jervis declined to permit this ... and, in any case, as he pointed out, the puppy was Edwina’s property.As soon as Edwina felt she would like to have it over in the schoolroom, and Strawberry would not be tempted to carry it back to the stables, she could do so.Tina seemed to think it somewhat odd that the puppy was not be handed over to her, but after a somewhat reflective look at Edwina—and another rather more curious one at her uncle—she decided to say no more on the subject and Edwina gathered that she didn’t really mind being passed over in favour of her governess.
