Above the chimney were sundry villainous old guns, and a couple of
horse-pistols: and, by way of ornament, three gaudily-painted canisters disposed along its ledge. The floor
was of smooth, white stone; the chairs, high-backed, primitive structures, painted green: one or two heavy black ones lurking in the shade. In an arch under
the dresser reposed a huge, liver-coloured bitch pointer, surrounded by a
swarm of squealing puppies; and other dogs haunted other recesses.
