dog-rooms

Updated: June 5, 2025

The door of one of the dog-rooms was open, and a fringe of inquisitive dogs ornamented the passage. "What you open that door at all for?" Mr. Beale asked Amelia. "I didn't," she said, and stuck to it. That afternoon Beale, smoking in the garden, got up, as he often did, to look through the window at the dogs. He gazed a moment, muttered something, and made one jump to the back door. It was closed.
