They Called Us Harecatchers: Lestat, The Hunter

The nobles in the capital called us country lords "harecatchers." I had become the hunter. I brought in the pheasant, the venison, and the trout from the mountain streams—whatever was needed and could be got—to feed the family. It had become my life by this time—and one I shared with no one else—and it was a very good thing that I'd taken it up, because there were years when we might have actually starved to death.
