Dissection as a Metaphor for Dislike

The Struggles of a Humble Man
Cabman John Gray
I am a small man, a humble man. Being poor I have had to do much that I did not want to do. But so long as the great Dr McFarlane comes to my whistle, that long am I a man. If I have not that then I have nothing. Then I am only a cabman and a grave robber. You'll never get rid of me, Toddy.

A Mother's Grief and a Dog's Loyalty
Mrs. Mary McBride
He'll not leave the grave - not since Wednesday last when we buried the lad.
Donald Fettes
Your son, ma'am? He must have been a fine boy for the wee dog to love him so.
Mrs. Mary McBride
A great kind lad he was - gentle with all things like Robbie. Now I can't get the dog to leave here. Perhaps it is for the best. I've not money enough to afford a grave watcher.
Donald Fettes
Not much danger here, ma'am, I wouldn't think - right here in the heart of Edinburgh.
Mrs. Mary McBride
They're uncommon bold, the grave robbers - and the daft doctors who drive them on.
