The first blow, penetrating the werwolf's eye, sank deep into its brain, but the second blow missed  missed, and falling aslant, alighted on the form beneath.

ad not a knife, but she had a long steel skewer she used for sticking into a tree as a means of fastening one end of her washing line. She wore it hanging to her girdle, and it was quite by a miracle it had not run into her when she fell. "Take care, mother," Ivan cried, as she raised it ready to strike; "remember, it is Olga." This indeed was an ugly fact that the woman in her anxiety to save the boy had forgotten. What should she do?

Which did she love the most, the boy or the girl? Never was a mother placed in such a dilemma. And she had no time to deliberate, not even a second. God help her, she chose. And like ninety-nine out of a hundred mothers would have done, she chose the boy; he--he at all costs must be saved. She struck, struck with all the pent-up energy of despair, and in her blind, mad zeal she struck again.
