Mr Jupp beamed at Himself the talking dog. "In a few minutes," he said, "you'll be the happiest, proudest dog in Ireland. How would you and Timothy like to go to the United States of America?" Himself was not tempted even by the promise of earning a hundred thousand pounds if he starred in television commercials for dog meat. Only recently he had escaped once again from his old enemy the circus dog trainer, and the more people who discovered he could talk, the greater his danger of being kidnapped. The money wasn't worth the risk, not even to help the monks of Clongarrie take more children into their orphanage. "You will travel to America like princes," went on Mr Jupp, "and stay at a wonderful hotel in New York with a chauffeur to drive you wherever you want to go. Himself wasn't impressed. "No," he said, "I'm staying in Ireland," and he meant it too. But things always had a habit of turning out unexpectedly for Himself and Timothy, and after all it wasn't so very long before they said goodbye to their homely caravan and set sail for adventure in New York!Readers of A Dog Called Himself and Himself and Macafferty's Queen will be delighted to welcome the irrepressible talking terrier to the stage again, together with his old friends Timothy the Irish tinker and Brother Michael of Clongarrie
