Finally, a pack of ten or twelve pursued the carriage; and though the coach-man whipped his horses with might and main, still the wolves gained on them, and stared up in their faces, licking their jaws with their red tongues. Some even were daring enough to spring up behind the carriage, but finding nothing but trunks, had to tumble down again.
He paused, and then added, with a disgusted laugh, "but she didn't tumble to it, for a d d silly reason." "What reason?" said Rylands hurriedly.
