Chapter V
The wolf-cub at even lay hid in the corn, When the smoke of the cooking hung gray: He knew where the doe made a couch for her fawn, And he looked to his strength for his prey. But the moon swept the smoke-wreaths away. And he turned from his meal in the villager's close, And he bayed to the moon as she rose. --In Seonee. “WELL, and how does success taste?” said Torpenhow, some three months later.
