And the earth trembled with those loud shouts of theirs." "Dhritarashtra said, 'How did the Pandavas and the Srinjayas slay Drona in battle, Drona, who was so accomplished in weapons amongst all wielders of arms? Or, was Drona carless at the time when he met with his death-blow?

And I'll lay all I have that he lost the two joints of that finger within the last three months! The scar over the stump had not long been healed. That's a fact!" Mr. Carless looked round with a triumphant smile.
