And it is the maestro of villainy that accomplishes that while sowing the seeds of dissension that, in their time, after the mother is dead, grow apples of discord. Only when her clutch-mates have fought each other to exhaustion, does the maestro pounce upon her surviving siblings securing for herself both food for the winter and the entirety of the glistering hoard.
