In the light of a shaded candle he saw a small, objectionable-looking infant fast asleep on two chairs by the side of the bed. "H'sh!" said his wife, in a thrilling whisper. "He's just gone off." "D'ye mean I mustn't open my mouth in my own bedroom?" demanded the indignant man, loudly.
"But Nag is in the garden, and I know you don't go there." "My cousin Chua, the rat, told me " said Chuchundra, and then he stopped. "Told you what?" "H'sh! Nag is everywhere, Rikki-tikki. You should have talked to Chua in the garden." "I didn't so you must tell me. Quick, Chuchundra, or I'll bite you!" Chuchundra sat down and cried till the tears rolled off his whiskers.

Father Wolf listened, and below in the valley that ran down to a little river he heard the dry, angry, snarly, singsong whine of a tiger who has caught nothing and does not care if all the jungle knows it.

He was sitting on deck when I went out, and his missis too, but neither of 'em spoke a word. I picked up my broom and went on sweeping, when suddenly I 'eard a voice at the gate I thought I knew, and in came my wife. "Ho!" she ses, calling out.

'Sticks crossed above his head, whispered Torpenhow. 'I know. I know! Who should know if I don't? H'sh! The drum-sticks fell with a boom, and the men swung forward to the crash of the band.
This sudden arrest was all the more disturbing to his mental composure because, for the moment, he could not see to whom the hand belonged.

Be careful! there's men down there on the path! they're very like after you," said the voice. "Wait here a minute!"
