The growling tigerish 'Ghm-m-m' constrained me to take it for a lullaby. 'Kiomi, why the deuce did your people attack me? She repeated the sound resembling that which sometimes issues from the vent of a mine; but I insisted upon her answering. 'I 'll put you down and be off, she threatened. 'Brute of a girl! I hate you!
