That story reminds a bit of "The Turn Of The Shrew". Du Maurier, such vocabulary! I still remember that famous first line, "Last night, I dreamt I went to Manderley again." "Rebecca", "The Birds", well turned out by Hitchcock.
Joan Fontaine the glacial blonde, Laurence Olivier (gasp gasp gasp), Dame Judith Anderson in the first, nothing could beat that black and white, that atmosphere, that ending with Miss Danvers standing, eyes aghast, in the midst of the burning house.
Tippi Hedren another glacial blonde, Rod Taylor (gasp gasp gasp a-new), Suzanne Pleshette in the second, on a lighter note, in the original, it was a man and his family. I still laugh when Tippi drives and, at each turn, her parakeets lean into the curves.
I apologise, I went away from the subject. Just a way to discharge, I fancy. Yesterday, I buried one of my dogs, whom I found in his dog house, sleeping forever, he lost his battle to cancer. Writing helps with the grief.

Very sorry to hear about your dog.
We do love our pets. I have had many cats, and it is awful when they pass. Sending you healing thoughts.
Thank you.
