Straddling Author's Note: The first two paragraphs are verbatim text from (I believe) All Creatures Great and Small. I just added the last couple of sentences.
Back at Skeldale House I had to
endure some unkind remarks about my straddling gait, but later, in
my bedroom, the smile left Siegfried's face as he examined my leg. "Right up there, by God." He gave a low, awed whistle. "You know, James, we've often made jokes about what a savage dog might do to us one day. Well, I tell you boy, it damn nearly happened to you."
Suddenly the familiar wicked grin replaced the shocked concern. "But as long as it didn't, we might as well make the best of it," he pointed out, reaching for his own fly. |
