and markings are to be given consideration above 
actual field promise, then the case is altered and

necessary to suggest to the man who has seen a 
litter of beagles grow up under his very eyes, from 
the day they were whelped until they are ten or 
twelve months' old, how to make his selection of 
first or second choice.
