First Few Lines: Before Elfrida Phipps left London for good and moved to the country, she made a trip to the Battersea Dogs' Home and returned with a canine companion. It took a good-and- heart-rending half hour of searching, but as soon as she saw him, sitting very close to the bars of his kennel and gazing up at her with dark and melting eyes, she knew he was the one.
