ad a high opinion of him.

--Most of the townsmen, an' please your worship, quoth Obadiah, believe
that 'tis all the Bull's fault--

--But may not a cow be barren? replied my father, turning to Doctor
Slop.

It never happens: said Dr. Slop, but the man's wife may have come
before her time naturally enough--Prithee has the child hair upon his
head?--added Dr. Slop--

--It is as hairy as I am; said Obadiah.--Obadiah had not been shaved for
three weeks--Wheu...u...u...cried my father; beginning the sentence with
an exclamatory whistle--and so, brother Toby, this poor Bull of mine,
who is as good a Bull as ever p..ss'd, and might have done for Europa
herself in purer times--had he but two legs less, might have been driven
into Doctors Commons and lost his character--which to a Town Bull,
brother Toby, is the very same thing as his life--

L..d! said my mother, what is all this story about?--

A Cock and a Bull, said Yorick--And one of the best of its kind, I ever
heard.
