How like Lord Froth and his dog Faddle ,
Who makes his family's head addle
With orders, cautions for his Pug!
Faddle has got a four-post bed,
With pillows for his gentle head,
Nice sheets, and comfortable rug,
With curtains of the finest chintz,
Fit for the chamber of a prince.

This dog story is not imaginary; Portman Square knows all about it, and enjoys its laugh.
