'Husbands die every day, ma'am, and wives too. 'And brothers also, sir, said Nicholas, with a glance of indignation. 'Yes, sir, and puppies, and pug-dogs likewise, replied his uncle, taking a chair.
In and out among these plants and bushes ran nimble lizards of at least half a dozen different kinds: lizards that carried their tails curled up over their backs like pug-dogs; lizards that amused themselves by pushing out a whitish, crescent-shaped protuberance from under their throats and then drawing it in again; lizards that changed color while I watched them; and big gray iguanas, two or three feet in length, which, although perfectly harmless, looked ugly and malevolent enough to be classed with Cuban land-crabs and tarantulas.
There was a library, with almost no books in it; a ball-room, which was used only for balls, and looked bare and shut up on ordinary days; a huge drawing-room, full of costly toys, tables loaded with Sèvres cups, other tables with processions of pug-dogs in precious china, snuff-boxes, patch-boxes; chimney-piece crowded with porcelain figures and bits of old Dresden ware; there was a great deal of carving and or-moulu, but it all had the air of being created and kept for company use, and deserted the moment company went away.
Her canaries alone number four hundred, and, in addition, there is an army of pug-dogs, hangers-on, and servants.

That beat him. "Is my blessed memory going wrong?" he said to himself.
Just picture us all two rather robust females, a fat servant-girl, two pug-dogs, a dozen boxes, satchels, and baskets, and me as well, all packed into a little carriage.

Mr. Blaine very naturally observes, that, "it is not a little surprising that this cruel custom is so frequently, or almost invariably, practised on pug-dogs, whose ears, if left alone to nature, are particularly handsome and hang very gracefully.
The room was filled with knick-knacks, and here were the pug-dogs, no less than three of them! They were very fat, and had little beauty except as to their round heads and black wrinkled snouts, which I kissed over and over again. "'Do you mind Mrs. Moss's being old, and dressing in that hideous brown dress? I asked in a whisper at the ear of one of these round heads.
