In the morning, as I sate writing, there had come a scratching at the door, and on it being opened in rushed a great [word crossed out] a dog; who, (her master having called in at some lower room,) had found her way upstairs, and there would stop, occasionally making discursive bolts along the passage, anon returning to my room. Presently she disappeared, and I having to go out, thought no more of her. But at eventide, lo, she comes scratching again, and I admitting him, conducted him herself as wont.
