The key was on the table and the whole of the hall was silent and the whole of the nine were looking at it."There is a thing about a key," the woman with black hair said. "It is a small thing and it opens a press and it has been on the belt of a man in a good coat for thirty six years. And there is a thing about a key that has been on a belt for thirty six years. It is a key that a man has not been able to put down and it is a key that he has just put on a table in front of a pack."Kern stood at the table with his hands at his sides."There is a thing about the whole of it," he said, "that I have been trying to say since the shop in Galway. I am not a wolf and I have never been a wolf and I have been the Keeper of the Rolls of the Council of Alphas for thirty six years. I have kept the file and signed the receipts and taken the tenth and I have been a man who has been in a room with a paper and a pen while a village on a coast has been doing a thing that no wolf in Galway was suppos

The hall was silver and the whole of the pack was on its knees on the flagstones and the two of us stood at the long table.Mairéad came first.She was a silver wolf and she had been a wolf for sixty nine years and she came at me low and fast the way she had come at my sister's sister on the headland in March. She took me off my feet and rolled me on the flagstones and the whole of the hall was the sound of it and the whole of the pack was on its knees and not one of them moved.I got up.She came again and this time I was ready and I put my shoulder into her chest and she went back against the long table and the whole of the table went over and the lamp went down on the flagstones and the whole of the hall was silver and shadow.And then she was on me.It was not like the headland in June. It was not a thing that was over in a minute. She was old and she was slow and she had not fought in fourteen years and there was a thing about her that I had not expected. She did not want to win.

The whole of the shore was silent and Kern was standing at the water's edge with his hands at his sides."There is a thing about this morning," the woman with black hair said, "that the whole of this shore is going to hear before the guards put a hand on anybody. The Court of Alphas has been in this village since Friday and it has heard the whole of the file and the whole of the co-op and the whole of the ring and the whole of the healer's book. It has heard the woman Eileen say the whole of it on this slip and it has heard the man Kern put the second file on the stones." She put her hand out. "And there is a thing about the Court of Alphas that the whole of this shore is going to hear now. It is not the Council. It is nine wolves from nine territories and it has the power to set aside a seat and to declare an heir and to banish a wolf from every territory on this island. And there is a thing about a man who has been the Keeper of the Rolls for thirty six years and who has been taking

The box was iron and it was about the size of a man's two hands and it had a lock on it and a brass plate on the lid with a name cut into it. Ahern.We put it on the long table in the hall and the whole of the pack was in the hall and the whole of the nine was behind the table and the whole of the co-op was in the gallery.Arthur came down the floor with a ring of keys in his hand."There is a thing about a lock," he said, "that I have been the cooper of this co-op for sixty years and that I have a ring of keys that has every lock in this village on it. And there is a thing about the press behind the frame. It has a lock that a key from this ring opens and it has a second lock that a key from Galway opens and there is not a wolf in this village who has ever seen the second one." He put a key in the lock and turned it and the lid came up. "And there is a thing about a box in a press that has a second lock on it. It has been in this hall since 1901 and there is not a wolf in this villag

The fish pie was on the counter in the shop and the pot of tea was on the stove and the whole of the village came in through the door.Nora had been up since five and the whole of the shop smelled of pastry and onion and the fire and there was a loaf on the board and a dish of butter and a jug of milk and the whole of it was the first thing that shop had put out since the fire in the back room in June."There is a thing about a fish pie," she said, "that I have been making it for thirty years and that there is not a wolf in this village who has not had a slice of it at a wake or a wedding. And there is a thing about a shop that has been shut since June. It is a shop that is going to have to learn how to be a shop again." She put the pie on the counter. "So I am going to start with the thing I know."The whole of the shop went up.And then the whole of the village came in. It came in through the door and it filled the shop and it spilled out onto the step and into the lane and the whol
