It was a 130-pound wolf. After sending his trophy to Louis XV, the hero hunter collected his pay. For a time, all was quiet in the Gevaudan. Until the killing started again.</p> <p>Abbe Pierre Pourcher notes, several times, that la Bete was a beast of great cunning:</p> <blockquote><font face="Times New Roman"><b><i>Her cunning, skill and mobility, even her very existence were completely beyond human understanding.</b></i></font></blockquote> <p align="justify"><font face="arial, helvetica">When the <a href="http://imgdata.echo.fr/livre_r?l_isbn=2262017395r" target="_blank"><b>killing resumed</b></a>, however, local villagers knew Antoine de Bauterne’s prey had been just another animal. It was time for Marquis d’Apcher, a 19-year-old, to assemble a hunting party. Jean Chastel was a member of that group.</p> </div> <p align="center"><font face="arial, helvetica" size="2"><a href="brotherhood_wolf_ch3.htm">GO TO LAST CHAPTER</a>   <a href="brotherhood_wolf_ch1.htm">BACK TO FIRST CHAPTER</a>   <a href="brotherhood_wolf_ch5.htm">GO TO NEXT CHAPTER</a></p><br> </td> </tr> </table>  </td> </tr> </table>  </td> </tr> </table> </body>
