Rufus was happy. Well, happy as a dɔg can be while his muster is nway. He is the much beloved poodle Sir Winston Churchill had to leave behind when he went on holiday to La Capponcina, Lord Beaverbrook's Riviera villa at Cap d'Ail.
Six-year-old Rufus is far from lonely. He is staying with relatives. You see them in this family group-Rufus is lying between his 12-year-old grand- father Winkle (otherwise champion Royboy of Toytown) and his two-year- old cousin Alyse (at back).
Rufus's hostess is Miss Bella Lobban, of Chiswick, who sold him to Sir Winston. She lets Refus sleep on her elderdown-as snugly as he does at the foot of the Prime Minister's bed.
