"The man what's his name? Short. Do you know him?" "Yes, sir. I've often seen him in the 'Star and Garter' at Kew Bridge." "Drinks?" "Not much, sir. He was fined over at Brentford six months ago for letting a dog go unmuzzled. His greatest friend is one of the gardeners at the Palace a man named Burford, a most respectable fellow."
At each guess the smaller of the intruders clapped her hands gleefully, but when, with the third, she was unmuzzled, she putted with her head at Mrs. Wasn't it just like Thrums, wasn't it just the very, very same? Ah, it was wonderful, their mother said, but, alas, there was one thing wanting: she had no Hogmanay to give the guisers. Had she not? What a pity, Elspeth! What a pity, Tommy!
"It was now felt that henceforth Mr. Gladstone must belong to the country, and not to the University."

"Of course it is. The fellow who stole the securities from the bank. They will get him of course." "With bloodhounds? How terrible!" "Not at all. They are muzzled. And friendly brutes, at that. They only follow the scent they are put on, and probably would do their quarry no harm, even if they were unmuzzled." "Well, it seems terrible, just the same," murmured Laura.
They even unmuzzled, at least after dark, that dreadful mastiff, the Press, whose scent is, or ought to be, so keen for wolves in sheep's clothing and for certain other animals in lions' skins. They made fun of sacred majesty, and, what was worse, managed uncommonly well without it.
