It reminded 'Zekiel of the stories of Kings and their Courts, and no doubt the Fozzy-gog was a king in his own opinion at least. He questioned 'Zekiel minutely as to how he happened to come there so late in the evening; and to all the questions 'Zekiel answered most truthfully.
No actor who has attempted Zekiel Homespun in this generation on the American stage has approached the performance that was given by Florence, in conviction, in artless sweetness, in truth of passion, and in the heartfelt expression of the heart.
The doctor would be a great catch for that girl, and I think," dropping her voice, "her mother'd be liable to live with 'em." "You're keeping that dark from the doctor, I s'pose?" remarked 'Zekiel. "H'm. You needn't think I go chattering around that house the way I do out here. I've got a great talent, if I do say it, for minding my own business." "Good enough," drawled 'Zekiel.
In the centre was a large square stone, like a stand; on which sat the Fozzy-gog, surrounded by about fifty china dogs of all shapes and sizes, but each one with a gold padlock and chain round his neck, without which none were admitted to the secret society of the "Fozzy-gogs."

As he handed it over the low hedge that separated the two gardens he felt a proud boy, but Eli did not appear so enthusiastic as 'Zekiel expected. He said that "chaney dogs was more for Grannies nor for lads," and that if he had been in 'Zekiel's place he would have chosen a fine peg-top. Poor 'Zekiel was disappointed. The tears gathered in his eyes.
"Twill end well enough," says he, and without more ado he walks back again. 'So you know the rest how that business ended, at least for him. 'And you are that very Zekiel Irons who was a witness on the trial? said Mervyn, with a peculiar look of fear and loathing fixed on him.

"Ah, that I mayn't tell you," said the china dog. "You must come with me to-morrow night to the Dog-wood, and you will hear all about it."
Pangloss has left in the memory of his time an image of eccentric character not less lovable than ludicrous.
