    WATCH-DOGS

    It's a'most the only enj'yment I've got left, said the oldest inhabitant, taking a long, slow draught of beer, that and a pipe o' baccy. Neither of 'em wants chewing, and that's a great thing when you ain't got anything worth speaking about left to chew with.

    He put his mug on the table and, ignoring the stillness of the summer air, sheltered the flame of a match between his cupped hands and conveyed it with infinite care to the bowl of his pipe. A dull but crafty old eye squinting down the stem assured itself that the tobacco was well alight before the match was thrown away.

    As I was a-saying, kindness to animals is all very well, he said to the wayfarer who sat opposite him in the shade of the Cauliflower elms; but kindness to your feller-creeturs is more. The pint wot you give me is gone, but I'm just as thankful to you as if it wasn't.
