Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Professor and the Petticoat In Pergolino´s Garden on the flats of Asuncion, Texas, where San Jacinto Street abuts upon the river, there dwells a wonderfully accomplished dog, known as Professor Sciarli. All the ordinary circus tricks, and many extraordinary ones, he does past perfection. He jumps through hoops, like any circus dog; but they are the tiniest hoops, held highest over your head! Any welltrained dog will catch a knife thrown up with judicious skill; but Professor Sciarli makes nothing of a knife thrown up into the air by a casual visitor, and not an ordinary stage-dagger, either, but a bloodthirsty Texas bowie knife, a knife that will cut you of its own volition if you don´t watch out. Throw up a deck of cards, and in their descent Professor Sciarli will pick out the queen of spades. I´ve not only seen him do it, but I´ve thrown up the deck myself, after reassuring myself that there was only one queen of spades in it. In all the ordinary affairs of dog life, however, Professor Sciarli is under a most serious handicap. At a severe look from a common dog of the street, he will put his tail between his legs and yelp for rescue.
