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 ? ' said Una . ` Ye-es and no . I 'm one of a good few thousands who have never seen Rome except in a picture . My people have lived at Vectis for generations .
XXXXX -- that island West yonder that you can see from so far in clear weather . '
