Ironically, what the wife and everyone else failed to notice was that the "singing" was the howl of a "werewolf".

Explanation:

Ironically, what the wife and everyone else failed to notice was that the "singing" was the howl of a "werewolf".

Lodge Meeting nights, more and more often they had him to lead the singing because he had beautiful voice, and he'd lead off strong, while the others always following and joining in, high voices and low. It brings the shivers on me now to think of it, hearing it, nights when I'd stayed home from meeting when the children was babies - the singing coming up through the trees there, and the moonlight, summer nights, the full moon shining. I'll never hear anything so beautiful. I'll never know a joy like that again.
