e cart." When his master spoke kindly, "'Rab, ma man, puir Rabbie,'" "the stump of a tail rose up, the ears were cocked, the eyes filled, and were comforted"; Rab showed _pride_ and _happiness again_. Page 104: He was _pleased_ when the medical student scratched his huge head, and _anxious_, when no notice was taken of him. When he first came to the hospital he felt _pride_ and _condescension_, "like the Duke of Wellington entering a subdued city." Page 106: When James handed Ailie from the cart, "Rab looked on _concerned_ and _puzzled_." Page 106: In the consulting room Rab was filled with _suspicion_ and _uneasiness_; he was "grim and comic," and eyed all three. When Ailie was put to bed and Rab was permitted to enter the room he "slunk in," _half-ashamed_, but fully _determined_. Page 107: Rab valued himself highly, but felt no conceit: he "had the _dignity_ and _simplicity_ of great size," and the "_gravity_ of all great fighters." Page 109: Rab felt _perplexity_ and _anger_, "forever cocking his ear and dropping it as fast," when Ailie entered the operating room. During the operation he felt _sympathy_ for the suffering of his mistress, _anger_ and _revengefulness_ at her tormentors; "his ragged ear was up, and importunate; he growled and gave now and then a sharp, impatient yelp; he would have liked to have done something to that man." Afterward in Ailie's room he felt _fear_, _anxiety_ and a _desire to help_, and showed "how meek and gentle he could be, occasionally, in his sleep, letting us know he was demolishing some adversary." Page 110: Rab continued to feel a sense of _depression_, _sadness_ and _anxiety_; during his walks with the medical student he was "sombre and mild; declined doing battle--submitted to sundry indignities." While Ailie seemed to be recovering Rab felt _kindliness_ and _subdued joy_, though _resentment_ lay close beneath the surface; he was "reconciled, and even cordial," had "made up his mind that as yet nobody required worrying," but was always prepared for it. Page 111: As Ailie grew worse, _grief_ and _fear_ began to take possession of Rab; he "subsided under the table into a dark place, and was motionless." Page 112: When Ailie called in delirium, her strained voice filled Rab with _surprise_, _astonishment_ and a sense of _guilt_; he started up "surprised, and slinking off as if he were to blame somehow, or had been dreaming he heard."
