yarb commented on the word the countess
A dog in Turgenev's Piotr Petrovitch Karataev.
"I had a dog called the Countess, a wonderful setter, with a first-rate scent--she took everything. Sometimes I'd go to a marsh and call "Seek." If she refused, you might go with a dozen dogs, and you'd find nothing. But when she was after anything, it was a sight to see her."
