the hunting party

Location:

In the woods at the Rostóv Estate

Nicholas sits on his horse, listening to the sounds of the hunt.  He can hear wolves howling, but to his ear, it sounds like something has gone horribly wrong.

A few moments pass and an old female wolf comes out of the scrub, not expecting to see him there.  Nicholas' dogs attack, but the wolf gets away.  It is then caught by Daniel's dogs, and he pounces on it. 

Nicholas goes to stab the wolf, but Daniel instead gags it, and they carry it back on the back of a horse.
