"I'm sorry, Mithalwen, but I don't really understand what you mean by that statement. How does a ranger's inability to protect the same person twice in a row prove that Nogrod is not a wolf?
Besides, if I read the narration correctly, a different person had the bow on night 2; in which case, the same person could possibly have been twice protected (if the wolves even went after the same victim twice, which isn't really a given, either).

I'm not so sure about Nogrod's suspiciousness, though, either. Yes, he's involved in a heated debate ; yes, he's jumping all over the place with crackpot theories ; but, after all, isn't that the Nogrod we know?

I am actually quite concerned about Lhuna; who seems to be using her words in a calaculated and manipulative manner to bring about a pre-determined result; and Mithalwen, who has had long enough to catch up but continues to speak in a safe fashion - humorous, non-controversial, and brief; her style seems calculated to generate vague positive feelings toward her and lull others into unthinking trust.

I don't know why Macalaure has set up this choice between Nogrod and Guy; it hardly seems obvious to me that they are the only reasonable choices; nor that one of the two must be a wolf.

The day is drawing to a close, but I have to admit, I am far from reaching a decision."

EDIT: X'd with Izzy, Noggie & Mith.
