"And now," said Mowgli cheerfully, as he swung into the hut again, "they are all sitting round Buldeo, who is saying that which did not happen. When his talk is finished, they say they will assuredly come here with the Red with fire and burn you both. And then?" "I have spoken to my man," said Messua. "Khanhiwara is thirty miles from here, but at Khanhiwara we may find the English "
We are too bruised to walk far, and the village will follow us in an hour." "I say they will NOT follow till I choose; but a horse is well thought of, for Messua is tired." Her husband stood up and knotted the last of the rupees into his waist-cloth. Mowgli helped Messua through the window, and the cool night air revived her, but the Jungle in the starlight looked very dark and terrible.
"Death I have seen." The man looked up gloomily, but Messua laughed. "See!" she said to her husband, "I knew I said that he was no sorcerer. He is my son my son!" "Son or sorcerer, what good will that do us?" the man answered. "We be as dead already." "Yonder is the road to the Jungle" Mowgli pointed through the window. "Your hands and feet are free. Go now."
A woman it was Messua ran across to the herd, and cried: "Oh, my son, my son! They say thou art a sorcerer who can turn himself into a beast at will. I do not believe, but go away or they will kill thee. Buldeo says thou art a wizard, but I know thou hast avenged Nathoo's death." "Come back, Messua!" shouted the crowd. "Come back, or we will stone thee."
"Hast thou forgotten?" said Mowgli. His throat was dry as he spoke. "If it be THOU, what name did I give thee? Say!" She had half shut the door, and her hand was clutching at her breast. "Nathoo! Ohe, Nathoo!" said Mowgli, for, as you remember, that was the name Messua gave him when he first came to the Man-Pack.
Neither man nor beast shall stay you till you come within eye-shot of Khanhiwara. There will be a watch about you." He turned quickly to Messua, saying, "HE does not believe, but thou wilt believe?" "Ay, surely, my son. Man, ghost, or wolf of the Jungle, I believe." "HE will be afraid when he hears my people singing. Thou wilt know and understand.
Fare you well, children of men, and thank Messua that I do not come in with my wolves and hunt you up and down your street." He turned on his heel and walked away with the Lone Wolf, and as he looked up at the stars he felt happy. "No more sleeping in traps for me, Akela. Let us get Shere Khan's skin and go away. No, we will not hurt the village, for Messua was kind to me."
In a little while they will have much else to think upon. Ah!" he lifted his head and listened to shouting and trampling outside. "So they have let Buldeo come home at last?" "He was sent out this morning to kill thee," Messua cried. "Didst thou meet him?" "Yes we I met him. He has a tale to tell and while he is telling it there is time to do much. But first I will learn what they mean.
Messua's husband was on his hands and knees digging up the earth in one corner of the hut. "It is his little money," said Messua. "We can take nothing else." "Ah, yes. The stuff that passes from hand to hand and never grows warmer. Do they need it outside this place also?" said Mowgli. The man stared angrily. "He is a fool, and no devil," he muttered. "With the money I can buy a horse.
