ANTIQUE BOOKS: kitchen garden looked wet and black and glistened like poppy seed and at a short distance merged into the dull, antique books veil of mist. Nicholas went out into the wet and muddy porch. There was a smell of decaying leaves and of dog. Milka, a black-spotted, broad-haunched bitch with prominent black eyes, got up on seeing her master, stretched her hind legs, lay down like a hare, and then suddenly jumped up and licked him right on his nose and mustache.
