You had surely got a rifle, said my host, turning right round on me. 'My dear, you forget Mr. Mackenzie has been a Missionary, said his wife. 'You yourself, as a Director of the London Missionary Society, would have had him cashiered if he had done anything of the kind. 'Nonsense, you don't see the thing.

Clerambault had tried to take his bone away from the dog, and if he was bitten he had no right to complain; in point of fact he did not do so.
