"A pair of high-bred women are out on a hunting party, when they somehow find themselves in company of an escaped hyena. A strange sort of companionship is formed, and then not strained in the slightest as the hyena attacks and devours a child of the Romany. But, hell, they think. Just a gypsy." (Dione Basseri)
