But he was still more than two hundred yards from them, and of course far from being within shooting distance with his small rifle. A thick jong dora bush concealed him, but he dared not go farther else the game would have taken the alarm. He could perceive that they were shy creatures.
"She'll be half-dead with cold if we find her alive." Before Lone could answer, Swan looked back at the two and raised his hand for them to stop. "Better if you leave the horses here," he suggested. "From Yack I know we get close pretty quick. That jong lady's horse maybe smells these horse and makes a noise, and crazy folks run from noise."
'I shall send round to Jong's for the other half on Monday morning, he said, speaking with his head through the cab window, 'and explain it to him. 'Do, I answered; 'he'll understand. "I'm sorry I'm going away so early in the morning," concluded the little gentleman. "I'd give back Jong ten per cent. of his money to see his face when he enters the studio."
Ayesha asked. "Thousands of them; the inner comb is simply packed with them. Wait; I'll show you." He rose and went away, returning with a sheaf of photo-enlargements and a number of blocks of lucite in which specimens were mounted. Everybody examined them. Anna de Jong, as a practicing psychologist, had an M.D. and to get that she'd had to know a modicum of anatomy; she was puzzled.
And here King Jong sat every morning from nine to eleven passing judgment on all cases that were brought before him. Then in the afternoon he taught school. The sort of things he taught were not always those you find in ordinary schools. Grown-ups as well as children came to learn.

With much unnecessary language, Senator Warfield told him to get to work, and the three tightened cinches, mounted their horses and prepared to follow Swan's lead.

Arriving at this place the prisoners were hospitably received by the Rev. Harkua Wilson, who is also a medical man.
