The guard of an English railway carriage recently refused to allow a
naturalist to carry a live hedgehog with him. The traveller, indignant,
pulled a turtle from his wallet and said, “Take this too!” But the guard
replied good naturedly, “Ho, no, sir. It’s dogs you can’t carry; and
dogs is dogs, cats is dogs, and ’edge’ogs is dogs, but turtles is
hinsects.”
