We each had a gun, and carried a couple of spare guns, with plenty of ammunition, so that we could kill as many wolves as presented themselves. "Just as we were preparing to start, Christina asked to accompany us. I suggested the coldness of the night, and Rasloff hinted that the sleigh was too small for three.
If she be not fair to me, what care I how fair she be?" and asked that she read it again. It was just right, he declared, and went around whistling that evening. There must be something more than Christina troubling him she concluded. And then she began to suspect the truth. Many little incidents helped to confirm her suspicions, and at last she realised it beyond a doubt.
"Mercy," said Alister softly, and kneeling laid his hand on her. She turned to him such a face of blank misery as filled him with consternation. "What has happened?" he asked.

Wallace had to part with Christina at Christmas time, a consummation that had been devoutly looked forward to by his mother.
