[ Corelli / The Secret Power ]
This novel has only one reference to Newfoundlands, in Chapter 14:
He's eccentric, but not vulgar. He's aristocratic to the tips of his toes — and English. That accounts for his
rudeness. Sometimes, you know — only sometimes — Englishmen can be very rude! But I'd rather have them so — it's a sort of well-bred clumsiness, like the manners of a Newfoundland dog. It's not the 'make-a-dollar' air of American men."
