The Avenger 10 - the Smiling Dogs
“The daughter separated from the son-in-law almost before the house could be completed, so it had been rented to a succession of political figures ever since.
The present occupant of the house was Senator Burnside. Burnside was in the house at the moment. The telephone was ringing, yet he was not really hearing it. That was because his brain was too occupied with other things. Too horribly occupied!
The Senator from Montana was a tall, heavy-set man with a gray mustache and gray-brown ey...es. He was dressed in a creased lounging robe and had felt slippers on his feet. He was ready for bed. But he had decided, before going to bed, to come down to the living room and look once more over a reforestation bill that was to be introduced in the Senate in the morning.
