Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sampson Rideout, Quaker
But true it was; the horse was stolen from the magisterial stable itself, from right under the nose of the stable dog, if not Of some two - legged guardian. Mr. Belor shot the dog (rather un handily, firearms not being much in his way), and gave all two - legged things belonging to the premises some cause to regret the day they were born - that is, all except Old John Hobby, who did not easily regret anything except an insuffi ciency Of beer, and who had, besides, the favour of madam. Mr. Belor vented his spleen on the others and on the dog, which was scarcely fair at least, to the dog, ' for he must have thought the thief his friend; and, since dogs make no mistakes in their friends, he doubtless really was a friend Of dogs.
