The night was cold enough to make flesh creep; but it was imagination that herded them until they touched the horse's rump and kept the whites of their eyes ever showing as they glanced to left and right. The Khyber, fouled by memory, looks like the very birthplace of the ghosts when the moon is fitful and a mist begins to flow. "Cheloh!"
'Come, children, said Sir Jasper, 'that's enough; take away the cats. It was kindly said, but it was plain that liberties with mamma would not continue before him. 'The Whites? was Gillian's question, as she pressed up to Aunt Jane. 'Poor Mrs. White died the night before last, was the return. 'I have just come from Kally.
You grip your pistol and look through the left-hand hole, you see the woman holding back the curtains, you see Martinez draw out the auger from the right-hand hole and lay it down. Now he leans forward, pressing his face to the completed eyeholes, you see the whites of his eyes, not three inches away. Quick! Pistol up! Ready to fire!

The houses are very plain, being built, as usual in this country, simply of a strong framework, filled up with mud, and coated with white plaster.
