Every kind, of dog was there, but especially the fat and pampered variety Poms, King Charles, Pekinese, Dachshunds a few bigger dogs, and even one mournful-eyed Dane who walked with melancholy superiority, as a king amongst his vassals. The street stirred with the patterings of dogs.
But then mark the dramatic effect! away in the blaze of the farther chamber appears a solemn, slim, bowed figure, dressed all in black the black velvet coat seemed even blacker than black and the mournful-eyed man approached, and he gazed upon us a grave welcome from the pleading, affected, tired eyes. He had a slight cough, too, which I rather fancied was assumed for the occasion.
Indolently roaming hither and thither, a few speckled hens resembled female pedlars, and some pompous red cockerels a troupe of firemen; in the orifices of the burning-pits a number of mournful-eyed, homeless dogs were lying sheltered; among the shoots of the steppe scrub some lean cats were stalking sparrows; and a band of children who were playing hide-and-seek among the orifices above-mentioned presented, a pitiful sight as they went skipping over the filthy earth, disappearing in the crevices among the piles of heaped-up dirt.
Æson talked with this slave one day, and after he had talked with him he sat for a long time over the cradle of his sleeping infant. And then he spoke to Alcimide, his wife, telling her of a parting that made her weep. That evening the slave came in and Æson took the child from the arms of the mournful-eyed mother and put him in the slave's arms.
