‘I say, Wiggins,’ said Dr Watson. ‘You’re looking out of sorts. What’s the matter?’

‘Nothing. Fred and me had a fight is all.’

‘You fellows fight all the time.’

‘Yeah, but this was serious. A few days back he found some abandoned puppies and brought them home. We don’t got enough food for our own selves so I ordered him to get rid of them. He refused so I whupped him good. Then he left. I thought he was taking them pups to the river, but he didn’t come back. He’s just a kid and too little to protect himself.’

.oOOo.

Yes the feels! Now I'm all concerned about puppies and kids being around a river. Ack!

Thanks!
Sadly, Wiggins ordered Fred to take the puppies down to the river to drown them. Poor Fred, who is 3 or 4 years younger than Wiggins has either come to some mischief or has run away.

Ach. The cold reality of that stark poverty.

[capt_facepalm]

Indeed. It is a luxury to keep pets even in this day and age.
Thanks!
