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

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
