Syncromy, Berry's Bay Roy de MAISTRE Measuring heights William Powel FRITH God said ‘It is not good for man to be alone, I will make a helper suitable for him’.

He named him Adam, commanding him ‘to eat from any tree in the garden, except for the tree of knowledge of good and evil’ for if he was to eat from the tree of knowledge he would certainly die.

The bulldog which Mr. de Buffon mentions by both names, guard dog and doorman, is by nature unclean, not well built, curious, growls and is very surly. He constantly barks at the wrong moment. The tenants of the place he lives say that he is an ugly animal. The bulldog's or doorman’s job is to be responsible for guarding the house, but that is what he guards least. On the other hand he is much better at guarding letters, newspapers, calling cards, etc. He is extremely nasty and threatens to throw himself at those people who approach him. However, there is a certain way to tame him: when he shows his teeth one must show him a 100 sous coin. Instantly, he becomes soft and caressing like a poodle. The bulldog or doorman usually lives in dirty and smoky cabins, and thanks to the neighbourhood kids, he never runs out of kennels.
