Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era. Among his best-known works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. "Marion Fay" is a novel of two love affairs, each involving an aristocrat and a commoner. Marion Fay is a Quaker`s daughter courted by the Lord Hampstead. Meanwhile, his best friend, the impoverished George Roden, is in love with the Lord`s noble sister. Differences of class and situation create a romantic drama in typical Trollope fashion.

John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they bought home Marley, a wiggly yellow fur ball of a puppy. Life would never be the same.

He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, flung drool on guests, stole women`s undergarments, and ate nearly everything he could get his mouth around, including couches and fine jewellery. Obedience school did no good - Marley was expelled. Neither did the tranquilisers the veterinarian prescribed for him with the admonishment, "Don`t hesitate to use these." And yet Marley`s...
