He was not lost.
He was, within minutes, on official business.
A roast chicken two streets away had begun its announcement, and a beagle's nose does not receive such news as information.
It receives it as an address.
The route was direct and the pace was professional.
Pickles followed the roast the way other citizens follow the parade route, by scent, by memory, and by conviction, and arrived at the correct garden at the correct hour, the hour the chicken came out of the oven.
The chicken's owner, a person of evident quality, took in the situation entire.

The porch rounds are made at walking pace, with nowhere else to be.
