N.B. The Sahib is to enquire of his servant Bhanah what is the native meaning of "walk softly." He will find Bhanah entirely trustworthy in all matters of information. Skag looked up and the old cook spoke: "I, who am speaking to Sanford Hantee Sahib, am Bhanah entered into covenant before the gods that I am his servant to serve him with my strength, so long as I endure to live.
"Then we'll have all the people against us which is to say, every prospect of success would go glimmering. No, there's nothing for it but to go ahead, as fast as we can slowly." "But what do you suppose he meant by 'forgetting'?" Skag asked. "That we mustn't let the natives know we're looking for her?" "I believe you've got it!" Cadman assented. "Then I've forgotten!" Skag said with decision.
The camp was in the open and the night was presently lustrous with stars. There was a sense of well-being, together with his fresh delight in the unfolding secret of Carlin's nearness, that made him enjoy staying awake. Nels was wakeful also as if these moments were altogether too keen with life to waste in sleep. "It's just a ramble, old man. We'll be about it early," Skag said toward the last.
Always when his thoughts fled away like this, his steps seized the advantage and he would find himself in full stride like a man doing road-work for the ring. She wasn't at the gate this time. Just now Skag felt the first coolness of evening, the shadow of the great trees. . . . She did not come to the gate. His hand touched its latch and still he had not heard her voice.
The boys of the village followed him after the elders had given up, and Skag halted at last to explain that this was an affair that would interest them very much when a teller came back to tell the story; but that this was the doing part of the story and must be carried to its conclusion alone.
That afternoon, the elder priest said: "He will live." "Yes," Carlin repeated softly. "But you don't seem glad," Skag said. She was looking back toward the city. "I was wondering if I could make them see what it means to spend the afternoon in the jungle with a rifle." "Couldn't they understand that this work of yours has delivered your cousin from death?" "Oh, no, they would laugh at that.
All generations after us shall hear of him; but we have looked upon his face!" "Neela Deo, Neela Deo, King of all elephants!" The Lair Carlin appeared to get right again in a few days of quiet after her terrific experience on Mitha Baba. There were a few more wonderful weeks for Skag and herself in the Malcolm M'Cord bungalow in Hurda weeks always remembered.
Cadman Sahib cleared his throat. "All right to talk?" he asked huskily. "Sure. It will help " He cleared his throat again and inquired in an enticing tone: "You actually don't mean to use the pistol?" "I'm not a crack-shot," Skag said queerly. "You might pass it to me. I'm supposed to be " "It is bad light." "And then again, you might not," Cadman laughed softly. "I've got you, son "
You'd sit it out alone until they brought the fracas to our doorstep rather than disturb a friend's sleep. That's what I call being a white man." Skag always thought of Cadman as the unparallelled comrade for field work.
But one who had not seen could never conceive how gradually, through the long, long nights I have watched his almost super-human courage breaking." Skag opened his lips to speak, but she put up her hand. "This is hard to tell because I have never known that I could be afraid. I have always supposed that I had perfect courage.
