But she must have taken the beast with her, and been on her way home when I left, and come across my track. I heard the SNIFF-SNUFF of the leopardess behind me, and ran; oh, how I ran! But my darling will not die! There is no mark on her!" "Where are you taking her?" "Where no one ever tells!" "Why is the princess so cruel?" "There is an old prophecy that a child will be the death of her.
Her hand returned quivering to her side. Her face grew dark. She gave the cry of one from whom hope is vanishing. The cry passed into a howl. She lay writhing on the floor, a leopardess covered with spots. "The evil thou meditatest," Adam resumed, "thou shalt never compass, Lilith, for Good and not Evil is the Universe.
I saw the tail of the leopardess quiver once. While still endeavouring to compose myself, I heard the voice of the princess beside me. "Come now," she said; "I will show you what I want you to do for me." She led the way into the court. I followed in dazed compliance. The moon was near the zenith, and her present silver seemed brighter than the gold of the absent sun.
"Would you take from me my last chance of reparation?" I cried. "This time there shall be no shirking! It is my duty, and I will go if I perish for it!" "Go, then, foolish boy!" he returned, with anger in his croak. "Take the horse, and ride to failure! May it be to humility!" He spread his wings and flew. Again I pressed the lean ribs under me. "After the spotted leopardess!"
To wait is harder than to run, and its meed is the fuller. Go on, my son straight to the cottage. I shall be there as soon as you. It will rejoice my wife's heart to see son of hers on that horse!" I sat silent. The horse stood like a block of marble. "Why do you linger?" asked the raven. "I long so much to ride after the leopardess," I answered, "that I can scarce restrain myself!"
Now the woman had been in perplexity whither to betake herself, not daring to go back to the city, because the princess was certain to find out who had lamed her leopardess: delighted with the friendliness of the little people, she resolved to remain with them for the present: she would have no trouble with her infant, and might find some way of returning to her husband, who was rich in money and gems, and very seldom unkind to her.
This people is not worth delivering." The leopardess dropped her burden, and charged into the crowd, this way and that, wherever it was thickest. The slaves cried out and ran, tumbling over each other in heaps. When we got back to the army, we found it as we had left it, standing in order and ready.
But I was with the veiled woman and the princess all through the night: something of what took place I saw; much I only felt; and there was more which eye could not see, and heart only could in a measure understand. As soon as Mara left the room with the children, my eyes fell on the white leopardess: I thought we had left her behind us, but there she was, cowering in a corner.
We followed, but she had already vanished. We sprang up a stair, and went all over the house, to find no one. Darting down again, we spied a door under the stair, and got into a labyrinth of excavations. We had not gone far, however, when we met the leopardess with the child we sought across her back.
He turned toward the side table and lifted the desk instrument, but with the impetuous swiftness of a leopardess she came to her feet and sprang upon him. For an instant he was borne back by the unexpected impact of her body against his own and in that moment she seized the telephone from his hand and tore loose its wires from the wall.
