Badly as I thought of Van Haubitz, and indisposed as I was to keep up any acquaintance with such an unprincipled adventurer, I had not the heart, seeing him so miserable and down in the world, to turn my back upon him at once.
"I shall walk as far as the Fleur-de-Lis. They never go to bed at that jolly old inn." "I will go with you!" "And I!" exclaimed a dozen voices. "Come on then; we will all go to the old dog-hole, where they keep the best brandy in Quebec. It is smuggled of course, but that makes it all the better."
In the dog-hole there were often seven, and in the tramp-room, twenty men huddled together.

Louis XVth went around by himself in droves, stiff and uncomfortable as a Presbyterian Sunday-school, wishing every time his rapier galled his kibes or tangled his royal legs that he had remained comfortably dead in that dog-hole at St. Denis. There was entirely too much formality for fun.
Now, in the dog-hole called Saint Malo there is some pretty land, although a great deficiency of marine scenery. But never mind that.

"We've got to run this little vessel into some dog-hole where there's a nice beach and smooth water, and change her name. I notice that her old name Reina Maria is screwed into her bows and across her stern in raised gilt letters, contrary to law and custom.
'And, once more, sir, who are you? 'I am of the children of Isis! 'Is that so? It occurs to me that you have made a slight mistake, this is London, not a dog-hole in the desert. 'Do I not know? what does it matter? you shall see! There will come a time when you will want me, you will find that you cannot bear to think of him in her arms, her whom you love!
