The men with empty pockets would marry me, forsooth, and the women be dragged into company clinging to my petticoats. But they are learning.
Four or five tortoise-shell cats and two sleek spaniels followed her around, and took a dignified interest in her proceedings. When the lady had visited the cows in the paddock she walked through the dairy and got ready to go out. When she came out she bore a little basket on her arm, and she went to visit her old women, and her favourite children.
This was a better chance than they had hoped for, and, when they approached the carriage itself, they saw that there was another point in their favor. Inside were no less than three beautiful little Pekingese spaniels that looked exactly alike. They were all trying to look out of the window and were pushing against each other.
Suddenly some horsemen tore into the midst of the crowd, and a voice shouted: "Hold or ye are dead men!" How good it sounded! The owner of the voice bore all the marks of a gentleman: picturesque and costly raiment, the aspect of command, a hard countenance, with complexion and features marred by dissipation.

This reminds me that you are not like the dogs I used to know the dogs that talked with their tails, caressed with their tongues, and were never over-clean or well-behaved. Where are they now collies, rat-worrying terriers, hounds, spaniels, pointers, retrievers dogs rough and dogs smooth; big brute boarhounds, St.
James's Park, striding among the trees playing with his Spaniels and flinging corn to his ducks, and these exhibitions endeared him to the common people, who always like to see the great unbend." Queen Elizabeth's physician, Dr.
Moreover, the different varieties of Setters undoubtedly derive their origin from the same parent stock, since we find them described by the earlier sporting writers as "setting" or "crouching" Spaniels, in contradistinction to the "finding" or "springing" Spaniel, who flushed the game he found without setting or pointing it.
