Now Ulf the strong stood up erect upon his feet, and on his swart cheeks great tears rolled, glistening. "Lord!" said he, "O Beltane, my lord and master " and bowed grim head with sudden sob, whereat Beltane questioned him full hastily, as thus: "Art wounded, Ulf!
'Let it be the same as that which I paid for Swart, said Gunnar; and Njal laid down the money and they parted, and no ill blood was between them, though their wives were still resolved to do each other all the ill they could.
As he looked down at her perfect face, then at one of the doves that had perched on her shoulder, and thought of treacherous swart Sepoys, of Bengal tigers, of all the tangled work that lay before him in Hindoostan jungles, a shadow fell over the young man's brow, and a dull pain seemed to tighten the valves of his heart.
The swart man became pensive, spat impressively on the platform, and resumed his theme. "Whad I was going to say was this," he said; was gravelled, and shook his head at his foot.

Swartboy's object was to get to the grove, in the midst of which were several trees of large size. One of these he proposed climbing as that seemed his only chance for safety.
He felt a quick revulsion from his transient friendliness. It seemed to him incredible that it should be necessary for him to be indebted to such a creature. "The chaps are always scrapping," said the swart man. "Always. And, of course if one gets waxy and 'its you vital ..." "By God!" cried Denton; "I wish one would."
