With the crowing of the c**k Patsy woke his master and bid him join Lord Powell for breakfast after his toilet. When he had Sir James dressed, he showed him the way to a sitting room where Lord Powell awaited him with tea and cakes. As Patsy was leaving, Sir James turned to him and said, "Fetch forth my Pennsylvania rifle armed and loaded and prepare our horses good Patsy. I think we shall have some sport with that blue-eyed wolf this day."
Patsy, having seen the very same wolf, knew deep inside him that try as he might, his master would never slay that beast. Patsy had, on several occasions, looked deep within the eyes of the wolf and found a quiet power there that was beyond that of mortal men. Still, his master's every wish was his command and he quickly left to make preparations.
