THE DOG FROM DOONE C5 



people say, that any dog or crayturc that was near 

 dhrowned, hke that fella, have great understanding 

 afther. And in any case, if there was a person 

 that had a half glass taken, and he not to be used to 

 it, he might see many a quare thing out before him 

 in the woods, and that's the dog that would know it. 

 Sure, the man that owned him had a shebeen." It 

 may have been the desire of Lally to minimise the 

 supernatural, it was also possible that it was his 

 candid conviction. In either case to argue the point 

 was of no avail. 



The Dog from Doone was lying on my bed. I 

 looked at him and he at me, as man to man. He 

 rolled over, showing a sleek side. He was at peace 

 with all men in an understanding quite outside the 

 sphere of Lally or men of the shebeen.
