In face alone had he anything of the tyrant; it was as though the long rigours of the climate and the fine sense and good humour of the race had refined his heart to a simplicity and kindliness that his formidable aspect seemed to deny. Da'Be, also tall, was less heavily built and more lively and merry. He was like his father.
"My little laddie!" she cried, her face glorified, and he nestled his head in her full, beautiful throat and laughed. An instant later he looked up and smiled and held out his hand with a curious instinct of kindliness he had, even as a very little fellow. "Don't feel so awful bad, Uncle Grant!" he said shyly.

He laughed, and after a long pause, continued:
