I had one or two dog stories of my own. I knew a black-and-tan terrier years ago. He lodged in the same house with me. He did not belong to any one. He appropriated the front hall for his sleeping-apartment, and took his meals with the other lodgers whenever they happened to be having meals.
She wore eyeglasses and peered through them at her music with intelligent intensity and profound humility. The violin was played by an enormous young man with red hair, and the viola, second violin and 'cello by three young women, all of the black-and-tan Semitic type. Mrs.
Tiny, the black-and-tan terrier, who was lying coiled up on a cushion at his master's feet, heard Howard step on the stairs and barked sharply for a moment, then glancing at Stafford, with a reassuring air, coiled himself up again and subsided into spasmodic growls and whines of welcome; for the mite was fond of Howard.
But I have taken a little trouble, etc. As a matter of friendship no? Then we'll drop the subject. By the by have you a black-and-tan to dispose of?" He passed into a vein so chatty and so amiable that Gammon began to repent of distrusting him. Besides, his information might be really valuable and could not easily be obtained in any other way.
Ida had good cause to remember that parting in front of the classic portico in the warm afternoon sunlight, the two brothers standing side by side, with frank, bright faces, looking up at their departing guests, all smiles and cheerful pleasure in this world's pleasantest things a Dandie Dinmont and a big black-and-tan colley looking on at their master's knees the beau ideal of young English manhood frank, generous, outspoken, fearless the men who can do and die when the need comes.
In the dog world, the original of the bull-terrier in the story is known as Edgewood Cold Steel and to his intimates as "Kid." His father was Lord Minto, a thoroughbred bull-terrier, well known in Canada, but the story of Kid's life is that his mother was a black-and-tan named Vic. She was a lady of doubtful pedigree.
We have still one little dog of mine which I bought in Adelaide, of the same kind as Toby, that is to say, the small black-and-tan English terrier, though I regret to say he is decidedly not, of the breed of that Billy indeed, who used to kill rats for a bet; I forget how many one morning he ate, but you'll find it in sporting books yet.
I saw a tall man with a bunch of whiskers on his face flying across the lot pursued by a black-and-tan pup, which snapped eagerly at the man's heels and seemed determined to eat him up if ever the runner stopped long enough. I felt in my bones that the one in the lead was Bunch, and I sighed deeply and went back to bed.
"I guess you better do the talking; Caleb ain't so easy handled as the witch, and he's just as sour on Da." So Yan went forward rather cautiously and knocked at the open door of the shanty. A deep-voiced Dog broke into a loud bay, the long beard appeared, and its owner said, "Wall?" "Are you Mr. Clark?" "Yep." Then, "Lie down, Turk," to a black-and-tan Hound that came growling out.
The little black-and-tan terrier, the bonny wee thing which had been so blithe and greeted her so confidently only the evening before, lay there, fastened into a sort of frame in a position which alone must have been agonising. But that was not all. Beth had heard of these horrors before, but little suspected that they were carried on under that very roof.
