Mowgli cut across noiselessly through the Jungle, at right angles to Buldeo's path, till, parting the undergrowth, he saw the old man, his musket on his shoulder, running up the trail of overnight at a dog-trot.
"Nicolas, I don't believe it will be risking you any if I leave you here. Besides, I won't have to be gone very long." "If this black scoundrel he get restless, Senor, I will amuse heem with my forefinger." Sambo groaned; Nicolas grinned. "All right," Tom Reade laughed. "I'll be back as soon as I can." Away he raced at a dog-trot, chuckling.
Behind at a sort of dog-trot came women, clothed in skirts and shawls made of red and green blankets; papooses in moss bags on their mothers' backs, their little heads wobbling under the fur flaps and capotes.
He started on a dog-trot for the timber, and a dozen men trailed after him. Shirley turned helplessly on her uncle, seized his arm and shook it frantically. "Call them back! Call them back!" she pleaded. Her uncle got uncertainly to his feet. "Not on your life!" he growled, and in his cold gray eyes there danced the lights of a thousand devils. "I told you the fellow was a ruffian.
Nobody questioned him as he passed the barrier at a dog-trot. Then he approached a snoozing stevedore. "Where's Mike's?" "Lead y' there, ol' scout!" "No; tell me where it is. Here's a shilling." Explicit directions followed; and away went Thomas at a dog-trot again: the lust to punish, maim or kill in his heart.
But what a hurry and bustle there appears to be on board of the Yungfrau Smallbones here, Smallbones there Corporal Van Spitter pushing to and fro with the dog-trot of an elephant; and even Snarleyyow appears to be unusually often up and down the hatchway. What can it all be about? Oh! Mr Vanslyperken is going on shore to pay his respects and continue his addresses to the widow Vandersloosh.
At first we went at a dog-trot, but presently slowed down to discuss the future looming portentously ahead of us. Since entire concealment was now impossible, the question was, how complete a confession would be necessary? Our cases, indeed, were dissimilar, and Tom's incentive to hold back the facts was not nearly so great as mine.
Again starting, they proceed at the same quick pace; but before they have made another mile the wounded man feels his weakness sensibly overcoming him. Then the rapid run is succeeded by a slow dog-trot, soon decreasing to a walk, at length ending in a dead stop. "I can go no farther, Walt; not if all the devils of hell were at my heels. I've done my best.
Pushing on, he emerged toward dusk from the forest, and beheld at a distance a large village of high lodges standing on rising ground. "I am tired of this dog-trot," he said to himself. "I will arrive there on a run." He started off with all his speed. On coming to the first lodge, without any especial exertion, he jumped over it, and found himself standing by the door on the other side.
As they ran on, in a kind of dog-trot, her hand firm upon his arm he seemed not to notice it she became conscious, though it was half dark, of what sort of man she had saved. He was about her own age, perhaps a year or two older, with little, if any, hair upon his face, save a slight moustache.
