The gale still rising, seemed to my ear to muffle a mournful under-sound; whether in the house or abroad I could not at first tell, but it recurred, doubtful yet doleful at every lull; at last I made out it must be some dog howling at a distance.
Creí oír de pronto, no sabía si dentro o fuera de la casa, un extraño sonido, algo triste y lúgubre, al parecer lejano.
