There was, if you will, somewhat of a coincidence here in regard to time, but there was no coincidence in the fact of such characters selecting the same route, because whoever passed up or down that kloof must needs go by the gorge. Slowly Junkie picked his way up the ragged path towards the gnarled tree. The leopard, scarcely believing in his good luck, licked his lips.
Need I say that he took advantage of it? Charging in like a live locomotive, he sent the mad creature flying as if it had been a mere kitten head over heels into a small hollow!" "Well done! Capital!" shouted Junkie, at this point unable to restrain himself, as, with glittering eyes, he glanced round the circle of listeners.
We will just go a little way up the cliff." Leading Junkie away among the masses of fallen rock, which strewed that ledge of the cliff, the wily youth began to examine plants and flowers minutely, and to gradually arouse in the boy's mind an interest in such parts of botanical science as he was capable of understanding.
There was a general burst of laughter, in which Junkie joined, for he saw the absurdity of the question, which sudden anxiety had forced from him. "But why wasn't you killed?" he asked almost indignantly. "Whisht! honey, an' ye'll hear, av ye'll howld your tongue."
He had cried, and promised to protect her with his life against the bitcheries of poverty and despair that he knew so well. >From that time on they were inseparable, living where they could, doing what they had to do, to survive. William was not, in fact, a junkie, though he came as close to the line without crossing it as any human being ever could.
It was at once recognised as one of the most deadly snakes in the country. "Ain't it a booty?" cried Junkie, confronting Dobson, and holding up his prize like the infant Hercules, whom he very much resembled in all respects.
Like two sparrows in a purple nest they proceeded to enjoy themselves. "Now, Tonal', we will grub," said Junkie. "Why, what's the matter with you?" he asked, on observing a sudden fall in his companion's countenance. "The matter?" repeated the boy. "It iss the crub that's the matter, for I hev not a crumb with me." "Now, isn't that awful?" said Junkie, with a hypocritically woeful look.
It was at this moment, while in the act of bounding, that he caught sight of Junkie, but being confused at the moment, and ashamed of having been twice foiled, he slunk away with his tail between his legs and concealed himself among the branches of an old gnarled and favourite tree.
Thrusting the glass into its case with a bang, he strode down the mountain-side in rampant fury, leaving the solemn eagle to watch the lovers as they plighted their troth under the mighty cliff. Happily they brought the momentous transaction to a close just before Junkie and the highly convalescent Aggy Anderson re-appeared upon the scene.
Chief among these last were the fighting elephants, to which Junkie gave such appropriate names just now, and king of them all was the mighty Chand Moorut, who had never been known to refuse a fight or lose a victory since he was grown up. "It was really grand to see this renowned mountain of living flesh towering high above his fellows.
