34/52 It seems strange to me that so many people should have the same mad desire for the dollar that the wolves of the forest have for warm, red, quivering flesh. I have known a wolf-pack to kill five times what it could eat in a night, and kill again the next night, and still the next--always more than enough. They are like the Dollar Hunters--only beasts. Among such, one cannot have solid friends--not very many who will not sell you for a price. I was afraid to trust Josephine down among them. |
