It looks well among Friends, when Masters and Servants are all of a
piece. The _Dog_ invites his Guest, and the Cook throws him out of the
Window, and in so doing, the Man shew’d himself the Arranter Cur of the
Two; for it was against Hospitality and Good Manners so to do. There is
a Duty of Tenderness and Good Nature, even towards Those Animals: But
when it came to the Worst at last, the _Dog_ had the Wit, we see, to make
the Best of a Bad Game. Though ’twas an unmannerly, and an Ill-Natur’d
Frolick of the Cook all this while; for the Ill Usage of a Servant is
some sort of Affront to his Master.
