and see his hounds, Il dislike everything be-

replied the old man, with apparent astonish-
ment, why, my lady, it can't possibly be cruel,
for, said he, logically, holding up three fingers
in succession, we all knows that the gentle
men likes it, and we all knows that the hosses
likes it, and we all knows that the hounds
likes it, and after long pause, none on US
can know for certain that the foxes don't
like it.'n
