“In the sitting room was a stuffed dog—once Mr. Charleton’s prize-winning spaniel, ‘Lady Lovable’. Being in a surrealistic mood we made it sit with us at supper. There was something very sinister about ‘Lady Lovable’: one of her glass eyes had fallen out, the other glared at us with the ferocity of a Chinese dragon. Auden said that she would probably visit us in the night, dragging her paralyzed hindquarters after her, with a dry slithering sound, along the passage to the bedroom door.” Christopher Isherwood, Journey to a War, Faber and Faber, 1939
