There was a long pause when I had finished. "Say, Pa," said Dick shyly, "that mongoose was rather like Professor, wasn't he!" Plainly the Professor was the traditional hero of this family, and I began to feel rather like an impostor! I suppose it was foolish of me, but I had already made up my mind to push on to Woodbridge that night.
The destruction of snakes by this animal renders him particularly respected, and no person ever thinks of destroying him. No matter how venomous the snake, the ichneumon, or mongoose, goes straight at him, and never gives up the contest until the snake is vanquished.
I love you passionately like a tiger, and I offer you my hand. Marshal of Nobility, GOLOVIN RTISHTCHEV. P.S. Answer me by signs. You do squint. BOGIMOVO, June, 1891. Masha! Make haste and come home, as without you our intensive culture is going to complete ruin. There is nothing to eat, the flies are sickening. The mongoose has broken a jar of jam, and so on, and so on.
Its movements were so rapid that for a few moments the watchers could distinguish nothing in the miniature cyclone of slipper and ball of fluffy hair inextricably mingled. Then there was a pause.

Davenport was successful in his missions, for he had to get another mongoose, and he was able to tell Adam that he had seen the steward, who told him much that he wanted to know, and had also arranged for Oolanga to come to Lesser Hill the following day.
Wild pigs; their destruction. The mongoose. The buffalo; its milk; its disposition. The Indian donkey. Hard labour. Poor fare. Indian callousness. Elephants. Camels. The horse. In the jungle of trees and coarse vegetation which surrounds many of the old-fashioned bungalows in India, the shrill, nor very musical call of the squirrel half cry and half whistle may frequently be heard.
If I am a doctor I ought to have patients and a hospital; if I am a literary man I ought to live among people instead of in a flat with a mongoose, I ought to have at least a scrap of social and political life but this life between four walls, without nature, without people, without a country, without health and appetite, is not life, but some sort of ... and nothing more.
