Skag's chest heaved. "I never knew a more decent tiger " Cadman went on. "Besides, he's a friend of yours, and not too expensive " "You bought him to " "I bought him for you, son a tribute to the nerviest white man I ever stepped with " That evening a great whine went up from the bearers.
The big bony jowl was steadily pressed like a knuckled hand against Skag's knee, the body only half lifted from the dry stones and cramped with tension. Skag's eyes were turned up toward the mouth of the lair and his left hand fell to the Dane's head. The beast actually shook because his eyes were covered a second. "Of course you're to stay outside, Nels," he said softly as he rose.
Their hands met; and Skag's soul rose up without words, to answer a white flame in the inscrutable eyes. Early the following morning, Sanford Hantee Sahib said to his servant: "Bhanah, what do you know about cheetahs?" "Such little things as a man may know, Sahib." "Are you willing to give some of it to me?" "All that I am and all that I can, belongs to my master." "Is that the regular "
Gradually as the distance increased between them, the memory of old Alec began to smell as sweet as the sandal-wood chest in Skag's nostrils the chest and the rose-jar that never could die and the old friend became one identity. . . . India didn't excite Skag, who was twenty-five by this time. In fact, some aspects of India were more natural to him than his own country.
A thousand to one, among the best mounts, would have broken before the second charge and thrashed the hanging head against the ground. Skag's tones were continuous, his empty hand held out. There was never a glance of his eye to the battle of the Dane and the beast.
If any one had noticed, it would have appeared that Skag's eyes changed. Always he quite contained himself, but his lips stirred to speech even less after that.
"Some brand of calisthenics that. And he was the old one with the rose-jar?" Skag's hand lifted toward the other and Cadman's met his. There was a wet, meaty growl, indescribably low-pitched but no chance even to shout only to huddle back together to the farthest corner. The beast had stalked faultlessly and pounced, landing upon the thin cross pieces of bamboo, but short of the bait.
A brown-robed man stood before him. The level dark eyes were looking deep into the place where Skag's soul lived. Skag was intensely conscious that he stood in a Presence. He endured the eyes. They made him feel better. The robed man spoke again: "I speak to give you assurance that those you have served will be cared for. Also, a responsibility may fall upon you.
