'"Spoken like an oracle," said Montrose. "Were there an academy for the education of horses to be annexed to the Marischal College of Aberdeen, Sir Dugald Dalgetty alone should fill the chair."
"Because, being an ass," said Menteith, aside to the General, "there would be some distant relation between the professor and the students."'
from A Legend of Montrose by Sir Walter Scott (Chapter XX)
