At the far end we made a little fire and lay round it in the shadow of a big boulder. Maloney stopped his humming suddenly and turned to his companion. "And what do you make of it all?" he asked abruptly. "In the first place," replied John Silence, making himself comfortable against the rock, "it is of human origin, this animal; it is undoubted lycanthropy." His words had the effect precisely of a bombshell. Maloney listened as though he had been struck. AT THE FAR END WE MADE A LITTLE FIRE AND LAY ROUND IT IN THE SHADOW OF A BIG BOULDER MALONEY STOPPED HIS HUMMING SUDDENLY AND TURNED TO HIS COMPANION AND WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF IT ALL HE ASKED ABRUPTLY IN THE FIRST PLACE REPLIED JOHN SILENCE MAKING HIMSELF COMFORTABLE AGAINST THE ROCK IT IS OF HUMAN ORIGIN THIS ANIMAL IT IS UNDOUBTEDLY LIKE ANTHROPY HIS WORDS HAD THE EFFECT PRECISELY OF A BOMB SHELL MALONEY LISTENED AS THOUGH HE HAD BEEN STRUCK

"For even a tree," she added proudly, pointing to her little easel, "is a symbol of the divine, and the thought makes me feel safer." We glanced for a moment at a daub which was more like the symptom of a disease than a symbol of the divine—and then took the path round the lagoon.
