Harry "Whose dog is this, Miss Mary, that I have just picked up from under the table?"
Miss Mary "My dog Mr Harry."
Harry "Your dog! What a little beauty! Isn't there some saying about 'Loving me and loving my dog? Yes? I thought so! The blind and passionate adoration I feel towards this delightful little Quadruped is becoming positively frantic, I give you my word of honour!"

The 73 cartoons are still bound in the original Sketch Book which is signed on the first page by Harriet Churchyard. It is believed that it was given to friends of the Churchyard family and was handed down through six generations of that family.
