The father of the family appeared to have returned from an absence of some length, and the entire household had come rushing to meet and welcome him.

It is thus that I came into possession of an ill tempered French poodle called Crapouillot, which the patients in our hospital insisted on clipping like a lion with an anklet, a curl over his nose and a puff at the end of his tail.
