She spoke the last words as they reached the door of the pawn-shop. "I could save you the trouble," Schmidt suggested, offering to take the wolf's skin. But Vjera would not give it up.
For a few months he lay sick, and all their household goods found their way to the pawn-shop; then he died, and then they came to the "Ark."
