Colonel Hayter has a gun dog, black as night. It leaps upon pheasants he has brought down, pinning them by one fluttering, once-soaring wing, bringing them limp and lifeless to its master.

In the beast's eyes I see infinite patience and deadly watchfulness: the mirror image of another black dog that follows after my successes until they, too, lie lifeless.

REIG -- The Reigate Puzzle

What had happened?

The question haunted me as the train rattled along. The telegram had been all too terse.
