The Irishman also had a cote of 100 pigeons in his dormitory. Rao maintained a flock of 200 more on top of the prison storage house.

No name for a dog carries less than the nasty meaning unconsciously given fragrant words like "stink," nor has any animal gained such universal, nay, such high praise. All who learn to read know the foul loathing for the hound which Shakespeare held, the fear and contempt which the beast inspired in the ancients; those who have no knowledge of the creature's filthy ways have...
