The white-painted, red-roofed dwelling, with its green-latticed shutters, tasteful scroll work and ample, if indifferently swarded, lawns, was pleasant to look upon, but Thurston found more pleasure in the sight of its young mistress, who awaited him in a great cool room that was hung with deer-head trophies and floored with parquetry of native timber.
That deer-head of Prajapati severed from the trunk, became the star, or rather constellation, called Mrigasiras. And Lakshmana set out without casting a single glance on that lady with lips soft and red like the Bimba fruit.

In each corner hung a deer-head, from the antlers of which depended accoutrements of a cowboy spurs, ropes, belts, scarfs, guns. One corner contained cupboard, ceiling high, with new, clean doors of wood, neatly made; and next to it stood a table, just as new. On the blank wall beyond that were pegs holding saddles, bridles, blankets, clothes.
