    A few months ago there was a poor man travelling along the road, and he always had a dog going along with him. This day he came to the Guards' barrack. He went to the door, and knocked at it, and the Sergeant's wife came out. She asked him had he that dog paid for, if you have not, himself will take you." "I well believe you mam, he would take anyone, when he took you."
