This last remark was addressed to a rough-coated Dan die Dinmont terrier, who had been winking in a half doze on a cushion at Miss Dorcas's feet.

What I Remember, Volume 1 (Of 2)
Thomas Adolphus Trollope (1810-92) was an English author of over 60 books, encompassing travel writing, history and fiction. He lived most of his life in Italy creating a renowned villa in Florence with his first wife, Theodosia, which became the centre of ex-patriate society, and later another centre of British society in Rome with his second wife, Frances Eleanor. Both his wives were writers, as was his mother, Fanny Trollope, and his younger brother, Anthony, the celebrated Victorian era novelist. The first volume of his memoir, reprinted from the second edition of 1887, covers the period from his birth in 1810 to the late 1830s.

She was certainly very pretty, and just then she looked prettier than usual, for the sharp run had brought a more vivid colour to the cheek, and an added sparkle to the eye. She was laughing, too-the rogue-as well she might, for had she not brought her right hand swiftly down upon his left ear when he had chased her, caught her, and deliberately and maliciously kissed her, and did he not now look red and foolish, and apparently repentant?
