Excerpt from Of High Descent, Vol. 3: A Novel
Naturalists and students of animal life tell us that the hunted deer sheds tears in its agony and fear, and that the hare is ignorant of what is before it, for its eves are strained back in its dread as it watches the stride of the pursuing hounds.
The reverse of the latter was the case with Harry Vine, who in his horror and shame could only see forward right into the future.
