Their peaceful existence is disrupted when a young soldier named Henry Grenfel arrives on their doorstep seeking refuge. Banford is initially suspicious of him, but March is drawn to his youthful energy and charm. As the three of them spend more time together, a complex love triangle develops. Banford and March both become infatuated with Grenfel, leading to jealousy and tension between them. Meanwhile, Grenfel struggles with his own conflicting emotions and desires. The Fox is a powerful exploration of love, sexuality, and the human psyche, written in Lawrence's distinctive poetic style.
She took her gun again and went to look for the fox. For he had lifted his eyes upon her, and his knowing look seemed to have entered her brain. She did not so much think of him: she was possessed by him. She saw his dark, shrewd, unabashed eye looking into her, knowing her. She felt him invisibly master her spirit. She knew the way he lowered his chin as he looked up, she knew his muzzle, the golden brown, and the greyish white. And again, she saw him glance over his shoulder at her, half inviting, half contemptuous and cunning.
