Let them beware of their 'better natures, poor hunted fools! for that 'better nature' will be used as a dog-chain, by which they can be led, like toy-terriers, from beginning to end of what they are pleased to call their lives!" "Oh, Hadria, Hadria!" cried Miss Temperley with deep regret in her tone. But Hadria was only roused by the remonstrance.
Beauty Smith blinked in the lamplight and looked about him. He caught sight of White Fang and terror rushed into his face. At the same moment Matt noticed two objects lying in the snow.
