At this time, Mrs. Sappleton came in, greeting, “I hope you don't mind the open window." She talked on cheerfully about the shooting. To Framton it was all purely horrible. He made a desperate but only partially successful effort to turn the talk on to a less scary topic. "The doctors agree in ordering me complete rest, and an absence of mental excitement." he announced, "On the matter of diet they are not so much in agreement," he continued.
"No?" said Mrs. Sappleton, in a voice which only replaced a yawn at the last moment. "Here they are at last!" she suddenly cried. In the deepening dusk out came three figures with a tired brown spaniel(猎犬). And then a young voice rang out of the dusk, "I said, Bertie, why do you bound?"
Framton grabbed wildly at his stick and hat, without a word of goodbye, and rushed out of sight.
“What is up?" Mrs. Sappleton was confused.
"I expect it was the spaniel," said the niece calmly, "He told me that he was once hunted into a tomb by a pack of dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug tomb with the creatures barking just above him. Enough to make anyone lose their nerve."
Romance at short notice was her specialty.
