The Life of the Venerable John Alcock (Late Archdeacon of Waterford)
“John,” said his father, calling him one day to his side, “what would you like to be?”
“A doctor, Sir,” was the prompt reply of the doctor’s son, who shared the family esprit de corps to the uttermost. “I was born a doctor, of a family of doctors,” he often said afterward.
“Well, Ben and Nat are going to be doctors; I think you had better be a clergyman,” was the disappointing answer.

The story of a killer-dog. His owner had tried to train him to the domestic life, but the call of the wild and his hunting instincts were too powerful. As a killer he roamed abroad, hunted fiercely by farmers whose stock he wantonly destroyed. It is a story that is founded in fact.
As for Warrigal — he is as nature fashioned him.
“I have not sought to glorify Warrigal, neither have I condemned him. I have just tried to present him as he really is, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will.”
