A horrible doubt came into my mind as I approached the door lest the dog might be loose, but I remembered that Toller had drunk himself into a state of insensibility that evening, and I knew that he was the only one in the household who had any influence with the savage creature, or who would venture to set him free.
Al acercarme a la puerta, me asaltó la terrible sospecha de que el perro estuviera suelto, pero me acordé de que Toller se había emborrachado aquel día hasta quedar sin sentido, y sabía que era la única persona de la casa que tenía alguna influencia sobre aquella fiera y podía atreverse a dejarla suelta.
