FROM THE "SPECTATOR* 93 



hearing a tremendous commotion in the yard, 

 we rushed out to find a huge dog of the St. 

 Bernard species inflicting a severe castigation 

 upon poor Nep, Tan meanwhile looking on, 

 complacently wagging his tail. Both Tan 

 and his companion then disappeared for two 

 more days, after which Tan reappeared 

 alone, apparently in an equable frame of 

 mind, and satisfied that he had had his 

 revenge. We never discovered where the 

 large dog came from. I can attest the truth 

 of the two stories.
