H. Munro, better known as Saki. The story was included in The Westminster Gazette and appears in the collection Reginald in Russia published by Methuen & Co. in 1910. Summary"Gabriel-Ernest" starts with a warning: “There is a wild beast in your woods…” As the story propels, we learn from the narrator that Gabriel is indeed wild, feral - a werewolf in fact. The story uses the strain of animalist desire as an assessment to adolescence. The story’s climax is when Gabriel is revealed to have taken a small child home from Sunday school. A pursuit ensues but Gabriel and the child disappear near a river. The only items found are the clothes of Gabriel and the two are never seen again. Reprints
