"Poodles!" La Signorina was white with anger. "Why, yes," said Smith innocently. "Nearly all Italian ladies carry one or more of those woozy-eyed pups. Good-by to your sparkler, Tom, this trip, if we ever expect to see the lights of old Broadway again." O'Mally sighed deeply. The blow had finally fallen. Then La Signorina rose to her feet.
Isn't he one of her poodles?" "Eh? Her what?" "Fetch and carry; stand up on his hind legs and beg. There good dog! and all that sort of thing, you know; go to heel, too, when ordered." Holmes laughed again, this time in rather a shamefaced way, for he was conscious of having filled the rôle whose subserviency was thus pungently characterized by his cynical companion.
Charles Reade had a habit of hitting the nail on the head, and never showed it more pithily than when he answered "Ouida's" application for a name for her new pet poodle: "Call it Tonic, for it is sure to be a mixture of bark, steal, and whine." As to poodles and pugs, it is difficult for the masculine "man of letters" to write.

We were at his apartment the other day, where he had a tea-party expressly for us, with his cousins there, and Mr. Landini and two or three others. And then when he heard me say I like dogs he promised to give me a dog, one of those lovely clown dogs, poodles, with their hair cut in a fancy pattern, when he can lay his hand on a real beauty."
