...there with dark, irregular circles. Into this place, people brought their dogs to be examined by the judges. It was for the judges, prodding the sparse flesh upon a terrier's bones or stroking the pursed silky ear of a beagle, to decide how each dog or bitch, rated upon arbitrary points such as length of tale, straightness of back, stance, shape of head, compared in excellence with other dogs of the same breed and class.

There had been feeling between the Norwegian and Italian members of the crew that arose from purely temperamental differences and even from the minor annoyance of Nobile's fox-terrier bitch, Titina, who often occupied one of the only two chairs in the gondola.
