"He belongs to you Carlin, too, of course no resistance of mine left. A man sees differently toes up." Carlin pressed Skag's arm. The American bowed. Ian Deal straightened. "That's better," he breathed. "You'll see to the mount?
The accident was a calamity, because Skag's was already worn out cutting step-way to climb out of khuds, and this was all they had left to serve such a purpose. "That settles it, we must go," said Cadman, looking ruefully at the stump of his old blade. "Our nearest kin wouldn't know us, but we are still recognisable to each other, and I'm not exactly ready to quit are you?"
"How's all that?" "You don't smell afraid " "Ah, thanks." Long afterward Cadman's hand came over to Skag's brow and touched it lightly. "I was just wondering, son, if you sweat hot or cold." There was a pause, before he added: "You see, I want to get you, young man. You really like this sort of night?" "It is India," said Skag.
Once when four passed quite near, he felt Nels' shoulder against his thigh. "Nels, old man, buck up. I tell you, get a grip. They may be the devil, but he isn't hard to kill. I'll show you. Do you get me, son?" Nels looked up into the man's face, a long look. Then he pressed his head close, under Skag's hand. Spotted deer ran in small groups; they came into sight and passed out quickly.
"We're starting for Hurda to-night, son," he said to Nels. "I've left her a drink or two, and by the time she needs more, she'll be able to get to the river herself." Carlin must have caught the reality of that moment of crisis from Skag's telling the moment when the male tiger might have charged but didn't, because she succeeded in making Malcolm M'Cord see it, too.
Be certain, Nels knows." "That's good. I'm in this country to get acquainted with animals " "But to the preserving of men?" "When I find it's necessary, I've no objection then " Bhanah stooped quickly and touched Skag's feet. "Vishnu, the Great Preserver, has sent another Hand to this my India." Skag looked into the man's face and found high light in it.
Skag had never been cared for in his life; he had neither training nor inclination to direct a servant. But there was no need. Bhanah knew perfectly well what was right to be done; and he was committed with his whole heart to do it. The order of Skag's life was being softly changed; but he only knew his servant did many kind things for him which were very comfortable.
By this time they had passed through several villages, camping under double-thatch and inside heavy stockade guards. Being unable to release himself from the thrall of his life-quest, even while every element of his manhood was deep in the thrall of a "singing nautch-girl undefamed " Skag's trained ears had been extending his education in what was the cult of cults to him.
Not more than ten seconds passed and no outward change was apparent, yet there was a relief of tension in Skag's voice. "It's the little lamb that saved us that time, Nels. I think we've passed it passed the crisis, my boy. We'll just stand by now and measure patience with him." It was two minutes before Skag ventured a further movement to the right. The tiger made absolutely no counter this time.
I say a trance, because they appear to be oblivious of each other; hunter and hunted go side by side, without noticing." The drive of Skag's life-quest was working in him, as if nothing had ever given it pause. "Do they go fast?" "The timid and lumbering come out first, hurrying; they increase in numbers, all sorts, and run faster till those near the end go at top speed it's a thing to see.
