And then he remembered the look on Tarzan's face when they had discovered that the cabin was empty such a look as the hunter sees in the eyes of the wounded deer he has wantonly brought down. The man had been hard hit D'Arnot realized it now but why? He could not understand. The Frenchman looked about him.
Had D'Arnot known the thing that was in the ape-man's mind that had been in his mind almost from the first intimation that De Coude would call him to account on the field of honor he would have been even more horrified than he was. In silence they entered D'Arnot's great car, and in similar silence they sped over the dim road that leads to Etamps. Each man was occupied with his own thoughts.

As to leaving Paris at this time, I rather think that Raoul de Coude may be expected to have something to say on that subject before long." Nor was D'Arnot mistaken.

It was those noises and the eyes. "MON DIEU! I shall see them in the dark forever the eyes that you see, and those that you don't see, but feel ah, they are the worst."

The man had lowered his rifle and now advanced with outstretched hand. "I am Father Constantine of the French Mission here," he said, "and I am glad to welcome you."
