“Yes, but he is chained on the other side of the house.”
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, p. 43 · B2
Today is the 29th of August; the 21st of September will, therefore, be the conclusion of the term agreed on, and till that time arrives—and it is the advice of a gentleman which I am about to give you—till then we will refrain from growling and barking like two dogs chained within sight of each other.”
The Count of Monte Cristo, p. 815 · C1
