I was passing a pretty little villa, which stood rather back from the road, in its own grounds, with bright flower-beds in front -creepers wandering over the walls and hanging in festoons about the bow-windows an easy-chair forgotten on the lawn, with a newspaper lying near it a small pug-dog "couchant" before it, resolved to guard the treasure even at the sacrifice of life and a front-door standing invitingly half-open.
Kind reader, you and all of us, whirling along in this magnificently conducted express train called the earth whirling onward to a destiny worthy of our habitation are so many poor little pug dogs looking out at nature's marvels and looking out with less than pug-dog appreciation.
I had been seated only a few minutes when a little pug-dog of hers looked up in the direction of my knees and down towards my feet, growling and howling in a most strange manner. "What on earth is he looking at?" I exclaimed.
As a pug-dog and an old maid pertain to each other, it was only necessary, in order to divine this venerable lady's state, to read the name upon the golden circlet which served as a collar for the dog: "Constance belongs to Mademoiselle de Corandeuil."
Immediately, a low growl, deep and hollow, sounding from behind the armchair, made Mrs. Grivois jump from her seat, and sent the pug-dog, yelping with affright, and trembling through his fat, to take refuge close to his mistress, with all the symptoms of angry alarm.

As for Moody's companion, to look at him for a second time was more than she had resolution to do. She kept her eyes fixed on the pug-dog, and with good reason; as far as appearances went, he was indisputably the nobler animal of the two. Under the circumstances, the interview threatened to begin in a very embarrassing manner.
Then M. de Bargeton mutely implored his visitor to come to his assistance. Turning westward his old asthmatic pug-dog countenance, he gazed at you with big, lustreless eyes, in a way that said, "You were saying?"
