this
you'll get five years you know
stealing a valuable horse
and crippling him
he won't go hunting again that's for
sure
you'd have to be put down
come on you
you've got some explaining to do

holy of holies and if you know a better
old
dora
ah hello
my home from home
much more cozy than that great place of
mine don't you think well come sit down
couldn't we live here uncle i can't
you could would you like to yes more
than anything else
well there's plenty of room
you'd have to help slugger with the
cleaning
uncle
yes
one of the horses from the other night
what the squires yes the one they're
looking for
well i know where it is
it's lame and it's got a terribly hurt
mouth or shouldn't you tell the squire
about it well steve says he'll have him
shot steve
the boy the squire threw out
i see
and you want to bring it here
yes
well his men have got g*ns uncle they
will sh**t him i know they will
yes they probably will
come on then let's go have a look
oh good afternoon colonel
so we meet again in similar
circumstances it seems yes that's right
only this time the boys try to say the
horse and you're not well the squad
won't want a maimed horse in his stable
i know
they're much better put down
i don't imagine the horse would agree
with you and i certainly wouldn't now
you leave this to me but what about that
young thug trying to make off with the
valuable horse how can a horse be
valuable if it's only worth sh**ting
anyway he wasn't making off he said for
me
works for me as a matter of fact
i'm expanding folly foot more staff more
horses there's certainly a need for it
you two
go back to folly foot
take your friend with you
we'll go and see the squad he can decide
what's to be done with it all right
you certainly have a knack of getting a
servant of trouble don't you
now be careful with that horse it's the
first of dora's collection
all right off you go i'll do battle

don't go is him
