At Windsor Landseer painted another royal dog, Islay, the pet terrier of Victoria; also Dandie Dinmont, belonging to the Princess Alice; then Eos, who was Prince Albert's King Edward's dog.
Middleton’s were the days succeeding Fanny’s departure, while in Dr. Lacey’s home all was joy and gladness. It was about dark when Dr. Lacey arrived. Happy as a bird, Fanny sprang up the steps.

That's going to make me fight." Another quick, strong handclasp and then Drew turned toward the glowing windows of his home.
