You may as well make up your mind to it, Mrs. Faith. Gazell doesn't understand the little fellow's constitution, and Halt doesn't understand anything."

Why, I had always taken care of Charley!
The monkey, called cynocephalus, plunders the harvests, the vultures attack the sick animals, the striped hyoena and the leopard prowl about the villages during the night; but the cattle are extremely beautiful, and the fish make the sea on this coast boil, and foam by their extraordinary numbers. The hare of the Cape and the gazell are frequently met with.

I saw at a glance that the child was in a bad case. Halt was there, and Dr. Gazell; they were consulting gloomily.
While she stood there she had a rapt, high look of such sort that I could in no wise have addressed her. "Are you sure, Dr. Gazell?" asked Halt. "I think so," said Gazell.
