Crow could scarcely believe his eyes. He stared and stared. Certainly it was no 'possum that he saw. And yet the stranger was hanging by his tail. There could be no doubt about that. Even as Mr. Crow watched him he waved both hands at Mr. Crow, and swung by his tail alone. The old gentleman was terribly upset.
There was a yelling and scattering of Bandar-log in the new-budding branches above, and there stood Mowgli, his chest, filled to answer Mor, sinking in little gasps as the breath was driven out of it by this unhappiness. He stared all round him, but he could see no more than the mocking Bandar-log scudding through the trees, and Mor, his tail spread in full splendour, dancing on the slopes below.
For some time he could not make her understand his purpose. "Got to come at once!" he shouted. "I hain't 'ad sich a time for years!" said the old lady. "We'll have to get down through the house!" "Can't do no jumpin'," said the old lady. "No!" She yielded reluctantly to his grasp. She stared over the parapet. "Runnin' and scurrying about like black beetles in a kitchin," she said.
I stopped and stared too, and at last thought I recognised the features of the uncouth girl I had seen on the green near Chester with the Irish tinker Tourlough and his wife. "Dear me!" said I, "did I not see you near Chester last summer?" "To be sure ye did; and ye were going to pass me without a word of notice or kindness had I not given ye a bit of a hail." "Well," said I, "I beg your pardon.
But its distinctive feature was a row of pockets or rather several rows of them extending across the front breadth; they were of varying sizes, and all bulged out as if well filled. "What in the world?" I began, and stared at the pockets. Muriel's merry laugh rang out. "Haven't you seen my pockets before?" she asked.
As I gazed at the towns and villages through which we passed, and in each house of which lived at least one family like our own, as well as at the women and children who stared with curiosity at our carriages and then became lost to sight for ever, and the peasants and workmen who did not even look at us, much less make us any obeisance, the question arose for the first time in my thoughts, "Whom else do they care for if not for us?"
If I work my brain for several hours on end, I have a sick headache I'm a lion in a cage, dear; a little, miserable, five-foot cage, and it's no use beating at the bars, for I'll never get out;" and Peggy stared miserably at the statue of the "third great Canning" which stood opposite, and sighed her heart out, to think how impossible it seemed that the name of Mariquita Saville would ever be emblazoned by his side.
He stared at me blankly, but only for a moment, for soon his light eyes glittered; and then, as Kaffar came up by his side, my strength was gone, my hands dropped by my side, and unheeding the cynical leer of the Egyptian, or the terrible look of his friend, I walked into the house like one in a dream. During the next few days there was but little to record.
In a few days clearing began and tents and shanties were erected for temporary use. But poverty stared the brave citizens in the face. Fortunes had been consumed as well. Business was ruined for a time. Jeanne remained with Wenonah. Pani improved, but she had been feeble a long while and the shock proved too much for her.
