But I should have remembered he was a presbyterian I ought to have been aware that I was nursing a wolf-cub, whose diabolical nature would make him tear and snatch at me on the first opportunity. Were Saint Paul on earth again, and a presbyterian, he would be a rebel in three months it is in the very blood of them."
Also, I am a father, and all my days I have been cursed with imagination." Whither his monologue tended, Smoke did not learn, for it was interrupted by a burst of chiding and silvery laughter from Labiskwee's tent, where she played with a new-caught wolf-cub.

Wolves are cunning beasts and will often try to lull their prey into unsuspicion by playing round and cutting capers. I once saw a young deer and a wolf-cub together near the hut of the settler who had captured both. The wolf was just old enough to begin to feel vicious and bloodthirsty, and to show symptoms of attacking the deer.
Here, likewise the germ of the wrinkle-browed, grizzly-bearded, careworn merchant we have the smart young clerk, who gets the taste of traffic as a wolf-cub does of blood, and already sends adventures in his master's ships, when he had better be sailing mimic boats upon a mill-pond.
He was Onulf, Hunwulf, Wulf, Guelph, the Wolf-cub, who went away to Constantinople, and saw strange things, and did strange things likewise, and at last got back to Germany, and settled in Bavaria, and became the ancestor of all the Guelphs, and of Victoria, queen of England.

By and by they stood still; Ebbo she knew him by the tossed head and commanding air was proposing what Friedel seemed to disapprove; but, after a short discussion, Ebbo flung away from him, and went towards a shed where was kept a wolf-cub, recently presented to the young Barons by old Ulrich's son.

'Reverend Mother, expostulated Bertram, 'if you knew what some would give to be on the scent of the wolf-cub! 'I know not, nor do I wish to know, for what price a Selby would sell his honour and his bowels of mercy, said Mother Agnes. 'Come away, Nan; thou hast done well.
