Across the threshold
“Trina,” my dad said, “it's not a matter of ownership. It's a matter of compassion.”
“You're not springing it on me as a …a pet, then?”
“That is definitely not my intention.”
“Well, then what do you intend to do?”
“Give him a decent meal, a bath … then maybe we'll place an ad and find him a home.”
She eyed him from across the threshold. “There'll be no ‘maybe’ about it.”
My brothers said, “We don't get to keep him?”
“That's right.”
I have no idea of what kind a position it is when the speaker said "across the threshold".
