If we could suppose that this dog had been permitted to make itself, and that it had begun with the Skye-terrier, suddenly changed its mind and attempted to come the poodle, then midway in this effort had got itself very much dishevelled, and become so entangled that it was too late to do anything better than finish off with a wild attempt at a long-eared spaniel, one could understand how such a creature as "Titian" had come into existence.

When the door was shut, they were snug there even in winter.
His philosophic reflections produced as much effect on her vivacious excitability as they might on a restless Skye-terrier. "Yes, yes he's entirely right, is Monsieur d'Agreste; he has got to the bottom of things. One must keep in step with modernity one must be fin de siecle.
