From a Holiday cottage
“Before you go to sleep dear boy, could you just sort out this inferior for me.”
“For Hubert’s sake Worthy, leave the poor inferior alone. You can have the blanket.” (Read more) Two Labradors, Sam a gun dog and Worthington an ex- pub dog, have a series of hilarious adventures in both the big city and the countryside.

From a Holiday cottage
“Before you go to sleep dear boy, could you just sort out this inferior for me.”
“For Hubert’s sake Worthy, leave the poor inferior alone. You can have the blanket.”
“What,” Worthington spluttered, “Let a superlative sleep on the floor and an inferior sleep on the sofa?”

From a bit of upright fun (The cricket match)
“Well that old upright, he is what they call an umpire. He decides the rules, or something. Anyway it seems he is always ruling against the Boss's side.”
“Well it only be a bit of upright fun.”
“Yes dear boy. But the Boss's friends are taking it seriously. They may not even stay for the barbecue.”
“And that would be a disaster for you Worthy me old,” said Sam with a smirk.

From The Burglar
“Ah!” said Worthington, finally getting the message. “Who is it then?” he added.
“I don’t know now do I!” was Sam’s cryptic answer.
“Well dear boy what do you think they are doing?” Asked Worthington, then a nasty thought occurred to him, “I say there not eating those rather good chocolates are they.”
Sam was angry at Worthington’s complete lack of interest. “Expect they are Worthy, I mean there be nowt else in there.”
Worthington came quickly to his feet. “We’d better investigate,” Worthington decided.
