The latch on the door twitched. A quarter of an inch, the way it would if something tall had brushed it with a finger or a claw, feeling for the catch. Then it dropped back down. The breathing moved away from the door, around to the north wall, and for ten minutes we listened to something walk slowly all the way around the cabin, then down the slope into the trees.

And then there was nothing again. Real nothing this time. Normal forest silence came back gradually, like a tide coming in. A cricket started up.

A branch creaked. An owl called far off. I realized my hands were shaking on the rifle, and I put it down on the table and pressed them flat against the wood to make them stop. Corwin closed his Bible and put it back in its oilcloth.

He said, “We should go. ” In the morning, at first light. I said, “Yeah. ”

Neither one of us slept.

We sat at the table and waited for dawn, talking in whispers, and we did not open the door until the sun was clear of the far ridge and the mountainside was gold. Even then we opened it slow, with the rifle up, and looked out on a morning that looked exactly like any other morning on Horfrost Knob—mist in the valley, crows making a racket, the world working right. Nothing to show that the night had happened at all except our faces. The year was 1928, late September turning into October, the kind of week when the high coves of the Great Smoky Mountains start smelling like iron and wet leaves, and the first frost is already waiting up on the balds for its chance to come down.

My name is Arledge Fosmer. I was 39 years old then, a tall man, lean the way a walking man gets lean, working the ridges as a ranger before the rangering was official. Men like me were hired on to walk the lines, watch for fire, and keep track of what was out there. A man could walk three days in any direction off the main trails and not meet another human being.

At night, when the moon was down, the mountains were as dark as they had been when the first white men crossed the passes. My partner that autumn was a man named Corwin Folk, 27 years old, a red-headed fellow out of East Tennessee with freckles so thick across his nose you could hardly see the skin under them. He was shorter than me by half a head, broad as a barn door across the shoulders, and he could outwalk me on a good day, though he’d never once admit it. Corwin carried a Bible in his coat pocket wrapped in oilcloth, and he prayed out loud when he thought nobody was listening.

He had a wife named Lurleen down in Cosby, married her the spring before. I liked Corwin. I still think about him. The two of us were working a ranger cabin up on a ridge the old folks called Horfrost Knob.

There’s no map that ever called it that. On the maps it’s just a bump on a long serpentine spine of mountain, nameless, about 4,200 feet up. The old Cherokee families and the old settler families called it Horfrost because the frost stayed on it when it was gone from every other ridge around. The cabin was a one-room log affair with a stone chimney, a cast-iron stove, two bunks along the back wall, a plank table, and a door that had to be lifted slightly on its hinges to latch.

A man had built it in the 1870s, a Confederate veteran named Mercer Threep, who’d come up there to get away from people after the war and died in that cabin sometime in the early ’90s, not found for near a year. The story went that the men who found him could not agree on what had killed him. The door had been barred from the inside with a piece of 4×4 timber laid across iron brackets he’d set into the logs—the brackets were still there when Corwin and I moved in; we used them to hang a lantern on. The cousin’s party had had to chop their way in through a window.

They found old Mercer sitting in his chair in front of the stove, facing the door with his service revolver across his lap, all six chambers empty. There were six holes in the door at chest height for a tall man standing on the other side. Whatever he’d been shooting at, he’d emptied his pistol into it and died waiting to see if six bullets were going to be enough. The holes were still there, plugged with pine and smoothed with a rasp.

I had looked. We’d been at Horfrost Knob three weeks when the first thing happened. Three good weeks. We walked the lines in the mornings, split up for the afternoons, met back at the cabin by last light.

We cooked beans and cornbread and sometimes a squirrel. Normal talk. The woods were normal when we got there. Corwin would stand out on the porch before dawn with a cup of coffee and watch the dark valley fill up with birdsong the way a glass fills with water, and he’d say, “Listen to that, Arledge.

Listen to that. ” There was a good deal of peace on that ridge in those three weeks. The bad that came after was not a thing that had been building. It came out of a clear sky.

It started on a Tuesday evening. We were sitting on the porch after supper, Corwin whittling on a piece of basswood, me drinking coffee from a tin cup. The light on the ridge across from us was that particular autumn orange that makes grown men go quiet without meaning to. And that was when I heard the howl.

It came from the north, from a cove below the ridge, maybe half a mile off. A long note rising and falling, drawn out the way a wolf will draw one out when it’s calling for the pack. I froze. Corwin’s knife stopped moving.

We looked at each other. There weren’t any wolves on those mountains, not anymore. The gray wolves were gone out of the southern Appalachians by the 1890s. The red wolves were mostly gone too.

What we had was coyotes coming in from the west, feral dogs, the occasional bobcat or panther cry. That howl on the Tuesday evening was not a coyote. It was not a dog. It was not a bobcat.

It was a wolf, a big wolf. Corwin said under his breath, “Well, that’s a thing. ” I said, “Yeah. ” We waited for the answering howl the way a pack will answer.

None came. Just the one voice, a minute or two, then again, the same long note in the same place. And then nothing. On the Friday evening, just as the light was going, we heard it again.

Same cove, same voice, but closer. I had measured the first howl by the echo it bounced off the opposite ridge, the way a ranger does. The second howl came off a nearer ridge. It was closer by a good quarter mile, maybe more.

Corwin said, “Arledge, is that the same one? ” I said, “That’s the same one. ” He said, “How’s it getting closer if it’s just the one? They don’t travel alone, not like that.

” He was right. That Saturday I walked down into the cove alone. I told Corwin to mind the cabin. The truth is I had a feeling I didn’t want him down there with me, and I couldn’t have said why.

I took the Winchester and a canteen and a sack of hardtack. I went down along the creek slow, looking. Any wolf that had been howling in that cove for two nights should have left sign. Scat, tracks in the creek mud, a kill, fur on a thorn bush, something.

I walked that cove for four hours. I went up one side of the creek and down the other. I found deer tracks, raccoon, a single old bobcat print half washed out, the tracks of a black bear that had been through two or three days before. I did not find one single track of a dog or wolf or coyote in that cove, not one.

There was something else. The birds down along the creek were quiet, and the few I saw were moving fast, not feeding, not resting, just passing through. An old woodsman learns to read birds. The birds in that cove were telling me something I could not quite make out, and it was making my neck itch.

I walked out of that cove at three in the afternoon with a feeling in my chest I had not had in my adult life. A feeling like something was watching me go. I didn’t turn around to look. I walked up the slope with my thumb on the hammer of the Winchester and did not stop until I saw the smoke from our stovepipe.

That night I told Corwin what I’d found, which was nothing. When I was done he sat for a long minute, then he said, “Arledge, I got something to tell you, too. I saw something last evening when I went down to the spring for water. I didn’t tell you because I thought I was tired.

” He said, “I saw a man down in the laurel standing still. Looking at the cabin. ” “A shape like a man, tall, taller than you, didn’t move. I called out, ‘Hey there.

‘ And he didn’t answer. I rubbed my eyes, and when I looked again there was just laurel. ” I asked if he’d gone down to look for sign. He said, “I didn’t want to.

” I understood. I didn’t blame him. We didn’t sleep well that night. Around three in the morning I heard a sound I could not name.

Not the howl, something else. A low, slow drawing sound, like a piece of wet rope being pulled across a board from somewhere down the slope. It went on for the space of about ten heartbeats and then it stopped. Corwin was breathing even and slow.

Either he was asleep or he was pretending. I decided not to wake him to find out which. The next week, how fast it got bad. On the Sunday we heard the howl twice, once in the morning, which was new, and once at dusk.

Each time closer. By Monday evening it was coming off the slope directly below Horfrost Knob, a quarter mile or less. When I put my lantern out on the porch, the woods below the cabin were quiet as a held breath. A regular wolf, a pack hunting or a lone male, would have moved on by then.

There was nothing up on that knob to eat but us and a few deer. On the Tuesday afternoon I rode down off the ridge to the supply post at the bottom of the valley, an hour and a half each way on my little mule. The post was run by a man named Rupert Haskins, a retired railroad man, 64 years old, bald as a river stone, with one glass eye that never quite looked the same direction as the other. I told him what we’d been hearing.

I kept my voice low. Rupert listened. He didn’t laugh. He set down the ledger and looked at me with his good eye and his glass eye both.

He said, “Arledge, you go up and get your partner and you come down off that knob. ” I said, “Rupert, what are you telling me? ” He said, “I’m telling you I’ve been at this store since 1902. I’m telling you there have been four rangers and two surveyors and a timber man who went up Horfrost Knob in that time for a job of work, and five of the seven came back down in a hurry and the other two didn’t come down at all.

The old Cherokee around here, the ones who will still talk to a white man, they call that ridge by a name that doesn’t translate easy, and the closest I ever got was the place where the thing that sounds like one thing is another thing. Get your partner and get off that mountain. ”

I asked him about the two that hadn’t come down. He said one was a timber cruiser from Chattanooga in 1911, a man named Corbin or Corbett.

Went up alone to scout a parcel of old growth. He was to be back in four days. He didn’t come back. The outfit sent three men after him.

They found his camp, cold stove, bedroll laid out, packs unopened, rifle on top of the packs clean, oiled, loaded. No sign of struggle, no sign of an animal, no sign of him. They searched the cove and the ones next to it for near on two weeks, never found a bone, never found a boot, never found a scrap of his coat. The outfit dropped its interest in the parcel.

“And you may have wondered why that ridge is the only ridge in the park that hasn’t been logged down to stumps. Now you have part of your answer. ” I said, “Who was the other one? ” Rupert said, “The other one I don’t like to say.

” He said, “The other one was a young man from over in Sevierville, a hired hand for a surveyor’s party in 1919, 23 years old. Wasn’t supposed to go up alone. Got separated from the party on the third day. They searched.

They found him after a week. He was sitting at the bottom of the cove back of Horfrost Knob, his back against a tree, his hands folded in his lap. And he was smiling. He was not dead.

They brought him down on a stretcher. He didn’t speak again. Sat in a chair by a window for the rest of his days, smiling, looking out. He lived another three years like that.

I went to see him once. I sat next to him and watched his face. And I’ll swear to you that more than once while I was there, something behind his eyes looked out at me and recognized me, and it wasn’t him anymore. He was somewhere else.

” He said, “Go get your partner. Come down. Don’t spend another night up there. ”

I want to say I listened to him.

I didn’t. I bought coffee and sugar and a can of peaches because Corwin liked peaches. I rode back up. On the ride up I told myself that old men love old stories.

The belief lasted until I was about halfway up the ridge and the shadow of Horfrost Knob fell across my little mule. My mule, who had walked that trail with me a hundred times, stopped dead and would not move for a full minute, no matter what I did. I had to get down and lead her by the bridle past a certain bend in the trail. Past that bend, she went on like nothing had happened.

It was almost dark when I got back. Corwin was out on the porch with his rifle across his knees and his face tight. He said, “It came up to the spring, Arledge. ” I said, “What came up to the spring?

” He said, “I don’t know. I don’t know. I went down to fill the bucket and there was a track in the mud. One track.

I thought it was a bear at first, but it’s not a bear. Come see. ” We took a lantern down to the spring. The track was pressed into the soft black mud at the edge of the spring pool.

It was deep. Whatever left it had been heavy, 200 pounds easy, maybe more. The shape was mostly like a wolf’s track, the four main pads in a rough diamond, the claws showing in front. But it was bigger than any wolf track has any business being, near about the size of the palm of my hand with my fingers spread.

And there was a fifth mark behind the pad, off to one side, that I could not account for. A deeper impression, a long one, like the creature had a long toe or a dewclaw that reached the ground. Corwin pointed his lantern at the mud around the track, asking without words. I walked a slow circle.

There was only that one track, and then nothing. Not a second print, not a scuff, not a bent reed. A 200-pound animal does not leave one track. It leaves forty.

I want to say that plain. It is not possible. Corwin said, “What do we do? ” I said, “We go back to the cabin and we bar the door and we think it through.

”

That night Corwin took his Bible out of its oilcloth, opened it on the table, and started to read out loud from the Psalms, and he didn’t stop for near on two hours, reading with a shake in his voice he was trying to keep out of it. I sat across from him with the Winchester across my lap and watched the door and the single window. The hours between supper and midnight had a quality of being watched that I have never experienced before or since. It was not a feeling.

It was a fact, the same way the weight of my rifle was a fact or the heat of the stove was a fact. There was attention on us, focused, patient, intelligent attention from somewhere, from several somewheres maybe. Around midnight the howl came right outside the cabin, not a quarter mile off, not a hundred yards off. Twenty feet from the north wall, the wall the door was in.

It was a wolf voice, unmistakably the big barrel-chested call of a timber wolf, and there were no timber wolves in the Smokies and had not been for thirty years. But underneath the wolf voice was another voice. As if the howl was a curtain, and there was somebody behind the curtain making it move. And the somebody behind the curtain was, I believe, laughing.

Corwin stopped reading. The howl stopped. There was a silence, a real silence, the kind you don’t get in real woods. For a count of maybe fifteen there was absolute nothing, and then there was the sound of breathing, low and slow, right outside the door.

I raised the Winchester. Corwin whispered, “Arledge, don’t. ” I whispered back, “Why not? ” He said, “Because if you miss, it knows where we are.

” I didn’t fire. I watched the door. The latch twitched up once, a quarter of an inch. Then it dropped back down.

The breathing moved away, around to the north wall, and for about ten minutes we listened to something walk slowly all the way around the cabin, then down the slope into the trees. We packed fast at daylight. Two satchels, the rifles, the Bible in its oilcloth, Corwin’s little tin of photographs of his Lurleen, a pouch of papers, hardtack, coffee, the can of peaches we’d never eaten. We left everything else.

We meant to come back later with more men and collect it. Neither of us ever did. We set out down the trail a little after eight in the morning. The trail down off Horfrost Knob goes first through a stand of hemlocks, then crosses the creek at a little ford, then winds around the flank of the ridge for about two miles before it joins a bigger path.

In good weather, about a three-hour walk. We figured we’d be at Rupert Haskins by noon. We didn’t make it. We were in the hemlocks, maybe a quarter mile below the cabin, when Corwin said, “Arledge, do you hear that?

” I stopped. What I heard was my own name. Somebody from up the slope behind us was calling my name. Arledge.

Arledge. Long, drawn out, the way a woman calls a man in for supper when she has called him three times already. It was a voice I knew. It was my mother’s voice.

My mother had been dead since 1917, died of the flu in the big outbreak, and I had not heard her voice since. Corwin’s face went the color of milk. He said, “Arledge, that’s not your mama. ” I said, “I know it’s not.

” He said, “Then don’t answer. ”

I didn’t answer. I gripped the Winchester, put my free hand on Corwin’s elbow, and started walking him down the trail, quick, not quite running, because I knew if we ran we were lost. The voice kept calling, keeping pace with us, staying about a hundred yards up the slope.

It called my name a dozen times, maybe twenty. Then it started to change. It became the voice of the widow woman in Asheville, Ione Brenchley, whose letter I had in my satchel. I had never heard Iona Brenchley’s voice in those woods.

Iona Brenchley had never been in those woods. But the voice was her voice, exact, down to the little catch she had on the second syllable of my name. Corwin made a sound like a man getting punched in the gut. The voice changed again.

It became the voice of Corwin’s wife, Lurleen, calling him. “Corwin, honey, come up here. I’m hurt. I’m up here.

Come up and help me. Corwin, please. ”

I have thought about what happened next for 36 years. I have thought about whether, if I had clubbed him with the butt of the Winchester and dragged him down the mountain unconscious, I could have saved him.

Corwin Folk was stronger than me, and he was already moving before I knew he was moving. He turned off the trail and started up the slope toward the voice. I caught his coat. He pulled free.

I grabbed him by the shoulder and spun him around. “Corwin, she’s two valleys away, down in Cosby. She is not on this mountain. That is not her.

” He looked at me. His eyes were wet. He said, “Arledge, I know. I know that.

But what if she is? ” And he pulled away. And he went up the slope. I followed.

I had to. I could not leave him. I followed with the rifle up, my heart pounding so hard I could feel it in my teeth, calling his name. He did not turn around.

The voice on the slope kept calling his wife’s name in his wife’s voice, moving further up the mountain, and he moved further up after it. We climbed and we climbed, up and around the back side of Horfrost Knob into a cove I had never been in before, a cove I had walked the ridge above a dozen times and never once looked into. The climb took about forty minutes. I remember stepping over a fallen hickory and noticing the bark was perfectly clean, no moss, no fungus, as if the tree had been lying there a day rather than the years it had clearly been there.

I remember passing a flat rock about the size of a supper table with marks on its upper surface that might have been made by a claw and might have been made by something else, and deciding not to look at them long. I remember halfway up that the voice changed to the voice of my father, dead since I was eighteen, telling me in a tone I had not heard in twenty years to come up and help him hitch the wagon. Corwin was twenty feet ahead, one hand out to steady himself against a tree, not looking at me, because to look at me would have broken the spell, and he did not at that moment want it broken. He wanted to believe.

A man who has been told by a voice he loves that he is needed does not want to stop believing the voice. The cove was a bowl in the mountain, maybe five acres across at the bottom, steep sides, big old trees. That was all normal. What was not normal was the light.

It was a grayer light, a sick light, the kind you get under a total eclipse. The trees in the cove, all of them, had no leaves on them, though the trees on the ridge above were still half green and going gold. Winter bare, in early October, on a slope that had no reason to be ahead of the rest of the mountain. The ground was gray the way old ashes gray, and the grass and ferns that ought to have been growing there were absent.

In their place were little pale knobs sticking up out of the gray ground like mushrooms, though they were not mushrooms, about the size of a man’s knuckle, hundreds of them. I did not go down to see what they were. The voice had stopped. Corwin stopped too, standing at the lip of the cove, looking down into it.

I came up behind him and grabbed his arm. “Corwin, we are leaving. We are going now. ” He did not move.

He said, “Arledge, there’s something down there. ” I looked where he was looking. Down at the bottom of the cove, in the middle of the bare trees, there was a shape. A tall shape, standing upright, perfectly still, facing away from us.

It was not a bear. It was not a man, not quite. Taller than a man by a considerable way, seven feet, maybe more. Its arms were too long.

Its head sat wrong on its shoulders, cocked to one side like the head of a bird listening for a worm in the ground. Even at a hundred yards I could tell it was thin. Impossibly thin, the way nothing alive should be. Its skin, or its hide, or whatever covered it, was gray.

Not the gray of a wolf. The gray of wet stone. I was frozen, the way a rabbit freezes when the hawk’s shadow passes over. My arms would not lift the rifle.

My feet would not move. The shape in the cove turned its head. The body stayed where it was, facing away. Just the head turned, rotating on the neck the full way around, smooth, unhurried, the way a barn owl’s head turns, except slower.

So slow that the slowness was somehow the worst part of it. The face, when it came around to look at us, was not a face I can describe. I have tried. I cannot.

I remember that it had eyes. I remember that the eyes were not in quite the right places. I remember that there was a mouth, and that the mouth was already smiling before we were done looking at it. Beyond that, I have a blank.

I believe my mind, doing me a kindness, took the memory away. Corwin made a sound. Not a scream. A soft, wet sound, like a man letting go of something he had been holding for a long time.

The thing opened its mouth. And it made the howl. This close, the howl was not a sound. It was a pressure.

I felt it in my eyes and in my back teeth and in the space behind my breastbone. The wolf voice was there, but it was a shell over something else. And here, this close, I could almost hear what the something else was saying. And I knew that if I heard the words under the howl clear, I would never walk off that mountain in my own mind, whatever happened to my body.

I acted. It was the first thing I’d done in maybe a full minute. I pulled the brass whistle off my neck, the one I told you to remember, put it in my mouth, and blew it as hard as I could. Three short blasts, the signal we used on the ranger lines for come help now.

The sound of the whistle, high and shrill and human, broke something. The cove twitched. The light flickered. The bare trees seemed, for half a breath, to have leaves on them again.

The thing at the bottom of the cove snapped its head back to the front, and its whole body jerked. I grabbed Corwin by the back of his coat and hauled him. He came heavy like a drunk man. I got him over the lip of the cove and down the slope, and we went fast, ugly, falling more than running through the trees and the deadfall.

I dropped the Winchester at some point and did not go back for it. I’d have dropped my own hand. We came out of the woods at the supply post at around one in the afternoon. Rupert Haskins took one look at our faces and didn’t ask questions.

He sat us in the back room, made us coffee, put a bottle of brown liquor on the table. Neither one of us touched it. Corwin sat with his hands flat on his thighs and did not speak for two hours. Rupert didn’t ask what had happened.

He sat in a chair across from us and waited. At some point he took a horse blanket off a peg and laid it over Corwin’s shoulders because Corwin had started to shake and had not noticed. Around three in the afternoon, I told Rupert the whole of it. He did not interrupt.

When I was done, he nodded once, slow. He said, “Arledge, you both came down. I want you to hold on to that. Most men don’t come down.

You both came down. You are going to want to tell this story a lot in the coming weeks. My advice is don’t. Tell one other man, if you have to, a man you trust.

Then close the book on it. The ones who keep telling the story go back up the mountain in their heads every time they tell it. And the mountain, I have seen this. The mountain sometimes follows a man home.

”

I never worked Horfrost Knob again. The ranger service, when it became the real ranger service under the park, moved the cabin off that ridge in 1931. The official reason was the water source had gone bad. The unofficial reason I heard later from a man on the committee was that three different rangers had refused to take an overnight post up there, and the service had decided it wasn’t worth the fight.

Corwin Folk went home to his wife and took a job at a mill down in Cosby. I went to visit at Christmas. We sat on the porch of his little house, drank coffee, looked at the hills, and did not talk about Horfrost Knob, not once. He was quieter.

His red hair had streaks of white in it at 27, which his wife ascribed to the stress of the long ranger hours. He never opened the Bible in front of me again. Lurleen had taken to leaving a lamp burning all night in the kitchen. She told me, quietly, while Corwin was out of the room, that he could not sleep in the dark anymore.

She said she did not ask why. Some things a wife does not ask. The last thing Corwin ever said to me that I understood as meaningful was in the spring of 1932. We were fishing a creek on the Pigeon River, a Saturday, nothing biting, warm day.

Around noon he set down his rod and looked at me. He said, “Arledge, does your voice still call you? ” I said, “Not for a while, Corwin. Sometimes.

Not often. ” He said, “Mine calls me every night. Every night, Arledge. I lie in bed next to Lurleen and I hear it out in the yard, and it’s getting closer.

” I said, “Corwin, what does it say? ” He shook his head. “I don’t want to repeat it. But it knows Lurleen’s name.

Arledge, I never said Lurleen’s name out loud in those mountains, not once. You and I talked about a lot of things in that cabin, but I never spoke her name up there. And it knows it now. It says it.

It says it like it’s calling her. It says it like it’s been saying it for a long time. ” I reached across and took his hand, and he let me, and we sat there like that for a long while, two grown men holding hands on the bank of a creek with the sun going down behind the ridges. I told him to bring his wife and come stay with me down in Maryville, leave Cosby altogether.

He said he couldn’t. He said he’d thought about it. He’d decided there was no piece of ground on the earth he could go to where it wouldn’t find him, and he’d rather be in his own house when it came for him. Corwin died in the autumn of 1933.

He was walking home from the mill and stepped off the shoulder of the road, and a truck that had no business being on that road at that hour hit him. The driver never stopped. The sheriff in Cocke County wrote it up as an accident. I went to the funeral.

I could not tell Lurleen what I thought I knew: that five years is not very long when a thing like what we saw has marked a man, and that I did not think Corwin had walked off that shoulder by accident, and I did not think either that he had done it on purpose in the way the sheriff might have feared if he’d looked closer. I thought something had been calling him, and I thought that evening on that road he had finally answered. I never married Ione Brenchley. I wrote her a letter after I came off that mountain and told her the honest truth: that I was not the same man I had been when I started writing her, and that I didn’t believe I could make her happy, and that she deserved better.

She wrote me back a kind letter. She married a banker two years later. She lived a long life, I hear. I am glad of it.

I worked the park for another 28 years. I retired in 1957, in my late 60s, and moved into a little place down near Maryville with a garden and a dog and a view of the ridges in the middle distance. I still go up into the Smokies, along the ridges I know. I do not go up Horfrost Knob, and I do not go into the cove on its backside, and I do not ever blow a whistle in those mountains, because I think now that the whistle did something more than I understood, and I do not want to call the attention of whatever it was that lived in that cove a second time.

Three or four times a year, on a certain kind of autumn night, when the wind is coming out of the northwest off the high balds and the air smells like iron and old leaves, I hear a howl. Not out in the woods. In my house. In my bedroom, in the wall behind the headboard.

It is very faint. You would not hear it if you weren’t listening for it. But I know what it is. I know the voice of that howl.

It is the wolf voice with the other voice underneath, and the other voice, these last few years, has been getting easier to understand. A word here, a word there. Last November I heard what I am almost sure was my own name. I do not know what I’ll do when the words get clear.

I do not know if I’ll answer. I know what Corwin did.
