| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | The black spaniel, and other stories by Robert Hichens is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. It opens with a psychological tale of moral conflict and obsession over animal cruelty and vivisection, centering on the cultured traveler Vernon Kersteven, the eminent physician Dr. Peter Deeming, and their mutual friend who narrates. The volume likely ranges from European salons to North African deserts, blending society drama with eerie undercurrents and atmospheric travel pieces. The opening of the collection follows the narrator as he introduces Deeming to Vernon in Rome, where a dinner debate over animals turns heated after Vernon reveals his beloved spaniel was stolen and used for vivisection. Back in England, events take a tense, uncanny turn: Deeming abruptly leaves Rome, looks ill at Dover, and Vernon soon rents the house next door in Wimpole Street, shrouding his motives. The narrator’s attempt to draw out Deeming’s “black spaniel” ends with his own fox-terrier yelping in pain inside Deeming’s house and fleeing; shortly after, while the narrator is away, news arrives that Deeming has died from blood poisoning caused by a dog bite. A year later, Vernon—now an active animal advocate—impulsively buys a black spaniel from a street seller and receives the narrator for tea in the renovated, conjoined Wimpole Street houses, leaving the mystery and tension around the dog and Deeming’s shadow very much alive.
