About
Widow Joyce Lambert is poor and out of work. So fond is she of her little half-blind ageing terrier Terry, a gift from her late husband that she will do just about anything to keep him
An employed window struggles to keep her beloved ageing terrier, a gift from her late husband.
This story allowed Christie to indulge in her well-known love of dogs, particularly wire-haired terriers. She had an enormous affection for these creatures, which appears again in Dumb Witness, a novel she dedicated to her dog, Peter.
It was first published in book form in The Golden Ball and Other Stories, a US collection in 1971 and the UK collection Problem at Pollensa Bay in 1991.
