In one story in this collection, a baron says "The women of those days were more than a collection of individuals. They symbolized, or represented, Woman" while narrating the story of how he undressed a young girl named Nathalie. The opening story of this collection contains a story-within-a-story about Barabbas called "The Wine of the Tetrarch," told by the Cardinal, who is actually the actor Kasparson in disguise; in that story, four people trapped in a hayloft by a flood tell stories. It also contains a story in which a Prioress, possessed by the title animal, tries to get Boris to rape Athena Hopballehus. In another story, Fanny and her sister Eliza react very differently to the tales of adventure on the high seas told by the ghost of their brother Morton. "The Old Chevalier," "The Deluge at Norderney," "The Monkey," and "The Supper at Elsinore" are, for 10 points, part of what collection by Isak Dinesen?
