When all the evil is done, look you when these two strangers with the levels and the compasses make the Five Kings to believe that a great army will sweep the Passes tomorrow or the next day Hill-people are all fools comes the order to me, Hurree Babu, "Go North and see what those strangers do."
'And why you must leave again soon..... The mating of the spiders has reached its middle season, and will not end for many days to come. You and your god-friends have many battles yet to fight. 'Why do you speak this lie? signaled the Mantis angrily. 'Where do the hill-people hear such a thing? 'My people know nothing of this, he answered, as calmly as he could. 'And I would never tell them.
Don't you think the country-people in the hills would get out boats when they saw the flood spreading?" "Boats, no! The hill-people have not above three boats among them all. There are about three near the ponds; and they are like nut-shells. How should any boat live in such a flood as that? Why, that flood would sweep a ship out to sea in a minute. You need not think about boats, I can tell you."
His praises and his exploits had been continually rung in my hears by some hill-people with whom I had made great acquaintance in the market-place. Week by week they brought me fuel, eggs, and fruit, and in my dealings with them I had picked up a smattering of their beautiful Slavonic language, and was eager to display this new accomplishment to your uncle.
'Limestone, interjected the girl. 'Yes, and not always firm to brace wooden poles and stones across. His gaze returned from the low roof. 'Do you want to here this? 'Yes, very much.

'There are other caves, along the ridge farther north.
Quite apart from this aspect, we hear so much that is evil of the friars that it is a pleasure, when possible, to point out the good they did, a thing more frequently possible than people imagine it is. For Father Villaverde gave his life to missionary work among the hill-people, seeking in every way to better their condition materially as well as morally.
And then, to comfort the boy, the peddler told him wonderful stories of the riches and splendour of the Hill-people, how that sometimes they had been seen dancing at night on the mounds, and how they wore green caps, which, if any mortal man could get possession of, the dwarfs were obliged to serve him and obey him in everything.
"Reutha is alone her hands are sore with toil her feet bleed but no one pities her. Arndt sleeps in gorgeous clothes, while Reutha toils in rags. Arndt is the master Reutha is the slave! Poor Reutha is quite alone!" Even amidst the spells of fairyland that voice went to the brother's heart. He called the Hill-people, and bade them bring Reutha to him.
The hill-people in the country of Lampong speak indeed of a peculiar kind of rain that falls there, which some have supposed to be what we call sleet; but the fact is not sufficiently established. The atmosphere is in common more cloudy than in Europe, which is sensibly perceived from the infrequency of clear starlight nights.
And for a time his spirit ran with him, through the heart of a forest five hundred miles deep. Was a compromise of worlds possible, he wondered, some meaningful coexistence between the hill-people and the colonists? He tried, but could not imagine it. And what did it matter, if he lost the only woman he would ever love?
