I say like a Greek, because the Greeks are called the worst transgressors in this line.

Several Americans long resident in Constantinople contend that most Turks are pretty trustworthy, but few claim that the Greeks have any virtues that a man can discover--at least without a fire assay.
I am half willing to believe that the celebrated dogs of Constantinople have been misrepresented--slandered.

I have always been led to suppose that they were so thick in the streets that they blocked the way; that they moved about in organized companies, platoons and regiments, and took what they wanted by determined and ferocious assault; and that at night they drowned all other sounds with their terrible howlings.

The dogs I see here can not be those I have read of.
I find them every where, but not in strong force.

The most I have found together has been about ten or twenty.
