As the hare approached the house, one of the hounds made a last desperate charge, caught the hare, rolled her, but lost her in the fall. The hare escaped into the old house through the little window. The man came running up, entered the house and found lying on a bed there, groaning with pain and apparently very distressed, a spent worn old woman. The man asked her if she had seen a hare enter there. She denied it in a harsh tone but being suspicious of her he turned down the bed-clothes thus revealing a sorely wounded leg.
