different domestic breeds, which range in size from that of the common
ox to that of a large mastiff.

A great thing, even," she added. "And that's how it is with Adrian. No matter how hard you try, you aren't going to be able to control your feelings for him. You can't help loving him, and so you're running away. I'm just an excuse.
