However, now that he was small he was easier to manage than before, and Coal and Ember dragged him away despite his protests. When at last they came out from the tunnel, the blue moon was shining as before upon the roof of the Cat's house.
Upon those scarred and blasted slopes the wild spirit that was in him had free rein. And like a shadow the faithful Yaqui tried ever to keep at his heels.
