And, gentlemen, don't mistake me, if he ever gets near Senor Rojas there'll be some gory Aztec knife work." Yaqui had moved close to Mercedes, and stood beside her as she leaned against her husband. She seemed impelled to meet the Indian's gaze, and evidently it was so powerful or hypnotic that it wrought irresistibly upon her.
And you may as well know that Bellward will try his hand on you before he kills you. If that girl had known where the Star of Poland was, Bellward would have had it out of her! Three times a day he's put her into the hypnotic sleep. I warn you, you won't like the interrogatory!" The door flew open and Bellward came in. He went eagerly to Strangwise. "Well, have you got it!" he demanded.
These higher degrees of hypnotic state are easily followed by complete loss of memory for all that happened during the abnormal state. How have we to interpret such a surprising alteration of mind? It lies near to compare it with sleep.
It is now not far off sunset time, and over the snow the light of the sun flow in big yellow flood, so that we throw great long shadow on where the mountain rise so steep.

The ten impurities are a similar means of inducing meditation.
In Japan, on the other hand, I succumbed completely to the odd, hypnotic mechanism of the Geisha, the accompaniments to which are more varied, or more acceptable to my ear, than the Indian music. But I shall always remember the sounds of the distant, approaching or receding, snake- charmers' piping, heard through the heat, as it so often is on Sundays in Calcutta.
