"Sure," replied Sam, without any hesitancy, "if his Satanic majesty I beg his pardon, that Siamese king wanted any more water information, I would say to him, `Sire, your majesty, once, in a fit of indignation at the doing of a stable man, called Pasche, I seized a bucket of water, just drawn, and up with it to throw over the fellow, and, wonderful to relate, it just hit him in chunks of ice as dry as marble."
With them they returned to the stables, and there, showing the dogs a coat that Pasche was in the habit of wearing, and making them thoroughly smell it, they tried to get them on his trail. All, however, the dogs would do was to get back out of the deep snow as quickly as possible and into the shelter of the stables. The plan was not a success.
"Arrah, my man," shouted Sam, "and what are ye doing inside there?" "I fell in," faintly came back to the listeners. "Were ye looking for the cows?" persisted the irrepressible Sam, who was a great favourite with Pasche, although he often unmercifully chaffed him. "No, but a moose bull was looking for me."

Ibid., p. 147.
