"Has anyone a pocket-handkerchief to spare?" asked Papa.
His first shot had been fired under the influence of excitement, and he had missed his object and only wounded the dog. Now it was different. Again the pistol rang out. Rainy-Moon gave one sharp cry of pain and sprang backwards into space. In one hand he still gripped the leashes of the dogs. The other clutched wildly at the air.
And, first of all, to the infinite surprise of these two listening, shaking lovers, the roaring thunders that had been battling all about them, grew faint and small, and then dropped away into mere trickles of sound, retreating swiftly down into the dark valley where the house stood, as though immense and invisible leashes drew them irresistibly back.
And at one bound he broke through the leashes I had buckled round him and faced us, his eyes glaring, his yellow hair almost erect with the force of the rage visibly surging through him. Da Costa shrunk behind me. O'Keefe, coolly watchful, took a quick step that brought him in front of me. "Where do you take me?" said Huldricksson, and his voice was like the growl of a beast.

In the morning as she was burning French toast for the boy she told him that they would go to the beach. After breakfast they made a straw hat and wire and tissue paper sunglasses for Mouse to match the ones she had once crafted for the boy months earlier. Then she put leashes around both of them. They got into her old brown Ford and drove to the Entity. "Why's Rita/Lily not coming?"
