Mowgli watched him puff and blow with eyes that never changed. When he could make himself heard through the pattering mud, he said: "What Man-Pack lair here by the marshes, Mysa? This is new Jungle to me." "Go north, then," roared the angry bull, for Mowgli had pricked him rather sharply. "It was a naked cow-herd's jest. Go and tell them at the village at the foot of the marsh."
They throw stones and talk child's talk. My mouth is bleeding. Let me run away. Through the night, through the hot night, run swiftly with me, my brothers. We will leave the lights of the village and go to the low moon. Waters of the Waingunga, the Man-Pack have cast me out. I did them no harm, but they were afraid of me. Why? Wolf Pack, ye have cast me out too.
"We follow thee we follow thee," Gray Brother mumbled, licking at Mowgli's heel. "We follow thee always, except in the Time of the New Talk." "And would ye follow me to the Man-Pack?" Mowgli whispered. "Did I not follow thee on the night our old Pack cast thee out? Who waked thee lying among the crops?" "Ay, but again?" "Have I not followed thee to-night?"
"I have dealt with one Brahmin already, in the Man-Pack, and I know what I know. Evil comes here in a little." "Five times since I came here has the stone been lifted, but always to let down more, and never to take away. There are no riches like these riches the treasures of a hundred kings. But it is long and long since the stone was last moved, and I think that my city has forgotten."
"No; I have another thought in my stomach. The Man-Pack shall not know what share I have in the sport. Make thine own hunt. I do not wish to see them." "Be it so," said Bagheera. "Ah, now they come!" The conference under the peepul-tree had been growing noisier and noisier, at the far end of the village.
"Follow, then," said Mowgli, and the four followed at his heels with their tails between their legs. "This comes of living with the Man-Pack," said Bagheera, slipping down after them. "There is more in the Jungle now than Jungle Law, Baloo." The old bear said nothing, but he thought many things.
"It is VERY good," said Mowgli at last, sleepily. "Now, in the Man-Pack, at this hour, as I remember, they laid them down upon hard pieces of wood in the inside of a mud-trap, and, having carefully shut out all the clean winds, drew foul cloth over their heavy heads and made evil songs through their noses. It is better in the Jungle."
Come hunting with me and Baloo. He has new hives that he wishes to show, and we all desire thee back again as of old. Take off that look which makes even me afraid! The man and woman will not be put into the Red Flower, and all goes well in the Jungle. Is it not true? Let us forget the Man-Pack." "They shall be forgotten in a little while. Where does Hathi feed to-night?" "Where he chooses.
"Come, my son," she called, and Mowgli stepped into the light, and looked full at Messua, the woman who had been good to him, and whose life he had saved from the Man-Pack so long before. She was older, and her hair was gray, but her eyes and her voice had not changed.
"What need of talk?" said Baloo slowly, turning his head to where Mowgli lay. "Akela by the river said it, that Mowgli should drive Mowgli back to the Man-Pack. I said it. But who listens now to Baloo? Bagheera where is Bagheera this night? he knows also. It is the Law." "When we met at Cold Lairs, Manling, I knew it," said Kaa, turning a little in his mighty coils.
