— 24 — of Oh-what-a-wicked-world-this-is-and-how-I-wish-I-coulddo-someth<strong>in</strong>g-to-make-it-better-and-nobler expression about Montmorency that has been known to br<strong>in</strong>g the tears <strong>in</strong>to the eyes of pious old ladies and gentlemen. When first he came to live at my expense, I never thought I should be able to get him to stop long. I used to sit down and look at him, as he sat on the rug and looked up at me, and th<strong>in</strong>k: “Oh, that dog will never live. He will be snatched up to the bright skies <strong>in</strong> a chariot, that is what will happen to him.” But, when I had paid for about a dozen chickens that he had killed; and had dragged him, growl<strong>in</strong>g and kick<strong>in</strong>g, by the scruff of his neck, out of a hundred and fourteen street fights; and had had a dead cat brought round for my <strong>in</strong>spection by an irate female, who called me a murderer; and had been summoned by the man next door but one for hav<strong>in</strong>g a ferocious dog at large, that had kept him p<strong>in</strong>ned up <strong>in</strong> his own tool-shed, afraid to venture his nose outside the door for over two hours on a cold night; and had learned that the gardener, unknown to myself, had won thirty shill<strong>in</strong>gs by back<strong>in</strong>g him to kill rats aga<strong>in</strong>st time, then I began to th<strong>in</strong>k that maybe they’d let him rema<strong>in</strong> on earth for a bit longer, after all. To hang about a stable, and collect a gang of the most disreputable dogs to be found <strong>in</strong> the town, and lead them out to march round the slums to fight other disreputable dogs, is Montmorency’s idea of “life;” and so, as I before observed, he gave to the suggestion of <strong>in</strong>ns, and pubs., and hotels his most emphatic approbation. Hav<strong>in</strong>g thus settled the sleep<strong>in</strong>g arrangements to the satisfaction of all four of us, the only th<strong>in</strong>g left to discuss was what we should take with us; and this we had begun to argue, when Harris said he’d had enough oratory for one night, and proposed that we should go out and have a smile, say<strong>in</strong>g that he had found a place, round by the square, where you could really get a drop of Irish worth dr<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g. George said he felt thirsty (I never knew George when he didn’t); and, as I had a presentiment that a little whisky, warm,
— 25 — with a slice of lemon, would do my compla<strong>in</strong>t good, the debate was, by common assent, adjourned to the follow<strong>in</strong>g night; and the assembly put on its hats and went out.
