The dog looked up, then moved slowly toward me, and stood, head bowed to the floor, shaking in every muscle as I patted him; and when I turned, I saw him crawl back to her feet.

Shend sighed with happiness. 'D'you know, he said, 'if if you'd chucked me I should have gone down to my cabin after breakfast and cut my throat. And now it's like a dream a good dream, you know.
