Context
“We were both silent for a while; and as I looked towards the window I saw the first dim streak of the coming dawn. There seemed a strange stillness over everything; but as I listened I heard as if from down below in the valley the howling of many wolves. The Count's eyes gleamed, and he said:—
«Listen to them—the children of the night. What music they make!» Seeing, I suppose, some expression in my face strange to him, he added:—
«Ah, sir, you dwellers in the city cannot enter into the feelings of the hunter.» Then he rose and said:—
«But you must be tired.” source
