Chancing, however, to possess an old dark Scottish Terrier 

 bitch that threw one or more white puppies in every litter to no 

 matter what coloured 

 dog, the Doctor, after 

 drowning a score or

 whites and wondering 

 oft and again whence 

 that colour could

 has succeeded in doing so, after ten or more years of experiments,
