They believe that it is a just and good thing to make a man pay with his life, for taking the life of a monkey; because it impedes his coming up and embitters the others. One way to look at it?" Skag was in and out of the jungle most of the days after Cadman left for Bombay to sail. Closer and closer he drew to the deep, sweet earthiness and the mysteries carried on outside the ken of most men.
Tigers are everywhere in season." "Within an hour's walk?" Skag asked quietly. The other repeated his words in a voice that made Skag think of a grey old man, instead of the fat brown one before him. "Within an hour's walk? Ha, Ji! They come to the edge of the village and slay the goats for food and the sound cattle and the children!"
Times are hard for her on the road, and the little herd needs her as she needs me. . . ." Skag understood that. In fact, he loved it well. It belonged to his world to be straight with the animals.
Cadman presented Skag to Doctor Murdock of the University, explained that it was imperative for them to do some general outfitting, but promised to bring his friend in the afternoon. "Doctor Murdock is an extraordinary man, Skag," said Cadman, as the Englishman hurried away. "Beside his chair in the University, he is said to be top surgeon of Bombay.
As he heard these words, a great tide rose up into Skag, penetrating his body and his mind and the uttermost deeps of his consciousness. A vast sweeping tide it descended below all depths, it ascended above all heights, it compassed all reaches. It was ineffable love transcendent. It was for her! But it was for him too!
It is enough for one day." The words were spoken with almost affectionate inflections. Skag was puzzled. Roderick Deal stepped to the door and spoke to a servant; returning to his seat, he smiled openly into Skag's eyes before speaking: "Now you will come with me. We must lose no time." "Yes, I want to get back to Hurda as soon as I can." "Not before the monsoon breaks.
He followed along, and the elephant came behind him, as she walked toward Margaret's bungalow. . . . If Skag were to come this day, she thought! . . . Deenah was away, but Carlin left word with his wife that she would be back that night, or early the next day. Margaret was ready. Carlin was in the howdah beside her, before there was really a chance to think. Skag did arrive from Poona that day.
Carlin's uncle, the mystic of the Vindhas, had told him that there were mysteries of romance that had to do with separation as well as with together, and that real mates learn this mystery through the years. To-night Skag found to his wonder that the mystic had spoken the truth. He cooked the supper joyously and shared it with Nels, talking to him often and answering himself for the Dane.
It was after they had cared for the Gul Moti with the best they had water from a mountain stream and food Neela Deo had carried, in a shelter made of tender deodar tips, where she now slept on a bed made of the same that the mahouts told the Chief Commissioner and Skag, all they themselves had seen. By this time concern had spread from Hurda throughout the country.
His head tilted back as if sipping from a cup, as he lit and inbreathed the cigarette. To Skag he seemed so utterly aloof, so irreparably out of touch with a man's needs at a moment like this, that he could not have asked a favour or adequately stated his case. Deenah took this part, however.
