Chapter X
The mist had floated away, and the moor was drenched with golden sunshine when we went back to the castle. As we entered the hall I heard the sound of a dog howling, and spoke of it to one of the men-servants who had opened the door. “That sounds like Gelert. Is he shut up somewhere?” Gelert was a beautiful sheep-dog who belonged to Feargus and was his heart’s friend.
