There was a general movement in the compact column. The long animal-like thing moved slightly. Its four hundred eyes were turned upon the figure of Collins. "Well, sir, if that ain't th' derndest thing!
His dress, or rather the absence of it, his greasy and mud-bedaubed skin, his long unkempt hair, and the wild animal-like expression of his features all attest his relapse into a condition of savagery, total and complete.
