Dale, edging off still farther, as if that confession of the creature's sex did not serve to allay her apprehensions, "oh, then, you carry your aversion to the gentlemen even to lap-dogs, that is being consistent indeed, Jemima!" MISS JEMIMA. "I had a gentleman dog once, a pug! pugs are getting very scarce now.
It is the exception to find a fawn Pug with any trace at all now. The muzzle should be short, blunt, but not upfaced. Most of the winning Pugs of the present day are undershot at least half an inch, and consequently must be upfaced. Only one champion of the present day possesses a level mouth. The toe-nails should be black according to the standard, but this point is ignored altogether.
MISS JEMIMA. "Will you believe it, I say, when I returned to Cheltenham, only three months afterwards, Miss Smilecox had seduced his affections from me, and the ungrateful creature did not even know me again? A pug, too yet people say pugs are faithful! I am sure they ought to be, nasty things! I have never had a gentleman dog since, they are all alike, believe me, heartless, selfish creatures."
Smythe's best loved pugs had fallen ill of congestion of the liver, she had had tan-bark put upon the street in front of her house; and when in spite of this the dog died, she had sent out cards edged in black, inviting her friends to a "memorial service."
In the reception rooms food-bestrewn parrot stands were left where they ought never to be seen; and there were gilt-wired parrot cages; baskets for the pugs lined with soiled shawls; absurd ornaments, china cats with exaggerated necks, alabaster figures of stereotyped female beauty and flowerpot stands of ornate bamboo.
As soon as the Cat's-meat-Man had told every one that John Dolittle was going to become an animal-doctor, old ladies began to bring him their pet pugs and poodles who had eaten too much cake; and farmers came many miles to show him sick cows and sheep. One day a plow-horse was brought to him; and the poor thing was terribly glad to find a man who could talk in horse-language.
Do you recollect the day when you pointed out to me a shriveled old woman, in a melon-green bonnet and a puce wrapper, all over black grease-spots, the mistress of a poet before the Revolution, hardly thawed by the sun though she was sitting against the wall of the Tuileries and fussing over a pug the vilest of pugs? She had had footmen and carriages, you know, and a fine house!
"Which every time I see him," she said, with an evident quickening of interest, "he had two of them dogs with him what has turned-up noses and twisted tails." "Pugs?" suggested the chief. "No doubt that is their name, sir, but unbeknown to me as I never kept such an animal," answered Mrs. Perrigo.
He started as he looked down, then threw up his gun, with a quick glance round, for on the ground, side by side with the footprints, were the pugs of a lion or leopard. Venning was in danger, then! With an involuntary action he pressed his hat down firmly on his head, then moved forward, swiftly and silently, to another tree beyond.
"She was just going out to walk with her pugs. Angel began to you know, and for the moment she could think of nothing else; when the little beast had finished I had forgotten the thread of my argument. However, I spoke to her about Grace; and she promised that she shouldn't meet the fellow again.
