You put the bullet into that loop , and then you pull hard . ' The man pulled , and hit himself square on his thumb-nail . ` Each to his own weapon , ' he said gravely , handing it back . ' I am better with the bigger machine , little maiden . But it 's a pretty toy . A wolf would laugh at it . Are n't you afraid of wolves ? ' ` There are n't any , ' said Una . ` Never believe it ! A wolf 's like a Winged Hat . He comes when he is n't expected . Do n't they hunt wolves here ? ' ` We do n't hunt , ' said Una , remembering what she had heard from grown-ups . ` We preserve -- pheasants . Do you know them ? ' ' I ought to , ' said the young man , smiling again , and he imitated the cry of the cock-pheasant so perfectly that a bird answered out of the wood . ` What a big painted clucking fool is a pheasant ! ' he said . ` Just like some Romans . ' ` But you 're a Roman yourself , are n't you ? '
