FROM a cave in the rocks, on the 

 unnamed mountains that tower over 

 Harbor Weal on the north and east, a 

 huge mother wolf appeared, stealthily, as all 

 wolves come out of their dens. A pair of 

 green eyes glowed steadily like coals deep 

 within the dark entrance ; a massive gray 

 head rested unseen against the lichens of a 

 gray rock ; then the whole gaunt body glided 

 like a passing cloud shadow into the June 

 sunshine and was lost in a cleft of the rocks.
