“Toby was very fond of hounds too.”
Toby was very fond of hounds too. One time he had a darling hound that was the pride of his eyes and the talk of the parish. One day when he was out with the hound he started a hare and the hound in jumping over a ditch broke his neck. Poor Toby was very sad and lonely after his fine hound. He took home the hound, skinned him and got Jack Ahern the tailor to make a waistcoat from the skin. In a week after he was out looking at his cows and he started a fine hared in the field. Suddenly his waistcoat jumped off his back ran after the hare and after a grand hunt succeeded in killing him.
