"He's only been lying on the doormat, Aunt Harriet," she observed. "I don't believe he knows how to bark." "Oh, he's mild enough. He may change after marriage. Some do. But," she added hastily, "he'll be a good husband. He's that sort." Suddenly something that had been taking shape in Sara Lee's small head, quite unknown to her, developed identity and speech.
He had not shaved for several days. His hair was like a doormat. His face was unclean and puffed; his lips full and cracked; his eyes all discoloured. If aught can be vile, he was vile.

We did not say much when we went indoors, but the officer muttered and pulled his retriever's ears. He was a disgraceful, overfed doormat of a dog; and when he waddled off to my cookhouse to be fed, I had a brilliant idea.
