The question was gently spoken, but the eyes were like destiny. "Any child of hers will be good to me," Skag answered softly. A glow loomed in the blacknesses and Roderick Deal flashed Skag a smile which reminded him, at last, of Carlin. "European men, in the early days, were responsible for the branding, now carried by thousands in India carried with shame and the bitterest sort of curses.
I stood undecided, looking first at this great mountain of infuriated humanity and then at the club he had tossed to me; while around us were the great trees, the streams of ghostly moonlight and the looming blacknesses. "Come on! damn you for a yellow-gut. Take that up before I open your skull with this." He prodded me full in the chest with the end of his weapon. I needed no second bidding.
