Korak shouted down at him, calling him, in the language of the great apes, "Old green-eyed eater of carrion," "Brother of Dango," the hyena, and other choice appellations of jungle opprobrium. The Hon. Morison Baynes, listening, felt assured that a gorilla had seized upon him.
And the mother, mad with sorrow, goaded by the screaming, green-eyed, vacant-minded, despairing till a new spirit entered into her, the spirit of Cara the All-mother, Mother Carey the Beneficent, Mother Carey the wise Straightwalker.
