Rickety thatchedhuts leaned far out over the
stream, their piles driven into itsbed.
What do you mean by coming back like
this?
Ko Sla yelled, and he and Floraced after them. He
wasdefinitely committed now to proposing the doctors election. He took her by the
upperarms to draw her towards him. Even if I were elected, I should not,of course,
ever presume to COME to the Club.
Like the crocodile, agreed the doctor gravely.
Thatcrocodile deprived of natural feeling! To cover the awkwardness ofthe moment he
bent down and picked up the jungle cock.
She felt Flory touch her heel from behind. Heaven
forbid that I should force my society upon theEuropean gentlemen! They would strike
in and begin beating farther up.
The scent of sandalwood floated into hisnostrils.
Even when you see them its only for a flash of asecond. Flory shot severalmore
pigeons, and a small bronze-wing dove with back as green asverdigris.
Instantly she cried out in renewed hope: Then you
will take meback?
The village was darkish under the shade of
broadleaves.
The others stood looking on with serious,bored
faces, like men in church.
Elizabeth touched its smooth feathers with her
finger-tip. You do not realize the influence of that man in the district. The
beaters marched rapidly ahead insingle file, each with his broad dah laid along his
forearm. The village was darkish under the shade of broadleaves.
Her body made a broad ribbon on the dusty floor. He
sent Ko Sla and the beaters on, and the two of them skirted thefield and crept along
the hedge. You have not the mind of an intriguer, MrFlory. Elizabeth cried,dancing
about in agitation. They will gettired of it and pay up presently.
They say theres a leopard round here,that killed a
bullock almost in the village last week. But you must understand that I cant promise
toget you elected. She walked veryupright, with bitter offence in the carriage of
her back and head.
One fell on to her hand and crawled up her forearm.
Elizabeth had already learned howto load her gun. Everyword she said was justified,
and how tell her that he could do noother than he had done?
To cover the awkwardness ofthe moment he bent down
and picked up the jungle cock. A jungle fowl scuttled across the path with long
noisystrides.
Elizabeth was pining for the shooting
tobegin.
Flory reached across and took herother
hand.
Then she felt the beater pinch her elbow. I know
that allthis iss true, but what use iss that?
