In the evening Reginald again dressed the tigress's foot, when she exhibited the same marks of gratitude as before. Though the tigress was much better the next morning, she was still too lame to walk, and accordingly Reginald had a large wooden cage made for her, with a bed in it of dry grass, on which she might repose with perfect comfort.
Something like an infant's cry was heard through the open door, and before he knew what she was about, Rosamond was on the pavement and had rushed into the house; and while he was signing to a man to take the horse's head, she was out again, the gaslight catching her eyes so that they glared like a tigress's, her child in her arms, and a whole Babel of explaining tongues behind her.
"He is indeed a wonderful young man," observed the shikaree wallah. "How courageously he walked up to the tiger; it makes my knees even now tremble to think of it. Wallah, he is a brave youth." As Reginald walked on, with his hand on the tigress's head, he considered what name he should give the animal.
This was the tigress's first taste of blood a pale, diluted fluid, it is true, but it worked all the effect of a fuller and richer draught. It developed in Rosamund a sixth sense one which was to lead her to lengths that none of her kin could have anticipated.
General Rice, when giving an account of the seizure of Cornet Elliot, mentions that he had a narrow escape from a blow of the tigress's paw, which he guarded off with his uplifted rifle. The stock of the rifle was marked with the claws, while the trigger and guard were knocked completely flat on one side, so that the gun was useless until repaired.
