This mahout must be one of the great ones, else the master-mahout would not have spoken to him. But he will always speak to the elephants something." A strange name filled the air, rolling up and away. It was followed by a courteous request, in softer tones; and Skag watched another big elephant approach from the unpicketed lines.
And men can't punish elephants any other way they're not big enough." Then a voice rolled out of the dust-glamour before them. In quality and reach and power, it reminded Skag of a marvel voice that used to call newspapers in the big railway station in Chicago. "Whose voice?" he asked Horace. "That's the master-mahout. He calls the elephants; you'll see.
Then a master-mahout from High Himalaya went alone to the centre of the disk and in incomparable tones such as master-mahouts use having no accompaniment at all, told the story of Neela Deo's birthright. The people were utterly hushed; but the elephants kept their even pace as if listening. Then the great chorus came back, rendering the acknowledgment of a human race.
Then turning to the men on the ground, the strange mahout said wistfully: "Look on me with compassion, oh men of honour and of fame! I have heard of you, but you have not heard of me." "We have heard of you, that you are the making of a master-mahout, in due time," answered Kudrat Sharif.
Their knowledges are of elephants sealed not open to those from without. Yet I speak as one of my kind, being qualified, if in the future you have need of anything from us it is yours." And without giving Skag a chance to answer him, but with a stately gesture of salaam, the master-mahout had returned to his place and was calling another elephant.
