• Medora Slone : What did it feel like to shoot that female wolf?

  Russell Core : It felt awful. But... I really had no choice. Even though she'd taken a child, too?

  Medora Slone : Because you think it's the natural order?

  Russell Core : The natural order doesn't warrant revenge. They're not what you think, Mrs. Slone. What happened here is... is very rare.

  Medora Slone : What happened here, happened to me.

• [first lines] 

  Medora Slone : [in her letter]  Dear Mr. Core, three days ago my son Bailey was taken by wolves. This happened twice already here. No one in the village will hunt them, and I am alone here now. I have read your book. I know you have done this before. In my heart, I know that you are able to do it now. I do not expect you to find my son alive, but you could find the wolf who took him. Come and kill it to help me. I know you have sympathy for this animal. Please don't. My husband will come home from the war soon. I must have something to show him. Sincerely yours, Medora Slone.
