１　犬に甘いニュートン

Just as the destruction by fire of his papers was complete, Newton opened
the chamber door, and perceived that the labours of twenty years were reduced
to a heap of ashes. There stood little Diamond, the author of all the mischief.
Almost any other man would have sentenced the dog to immediate death. But
Newton patted the dog on the head with his usual kindness, although grief was
at his heart. "O Dimond, Dimand," exclaimed he, "thous little knowest the mischief
thou hast done!"
