The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Dracula by Bram Stoker: when he sees a big gray dog comin' out through the garding `edges. At least,
so he says, but I don't give much for it myself, for if he did `e never
said a word about it to his missis when `e got `ome, and it was only after
the escape of the wolf was made known, and we had been up all night a-huntin'
of the Park for Bersicker, that he remembered seein' anything. My own belief
was that the `armony `ad got into his `ead."
"Now, Mr. Bilder, can you account in any way for the escape of the wolf?"
"Well, Sir," he said, with a suspicious sort of modesty, "I think I can,
but I don't know as `ow you'd be satisfied with the theory."
"Certainly I shall. If a man like you, who knows the animals from experience,
can't hazard a good guess at any rate, who is even to try?"
