Back
to
the
House
of
Pain
,
--
back
to
the
House
of
Pain
,
"
gabbled
the
Ape-man
,
as
though
the
idea
was
sweet
to
him
.
"
Do
you
hear
?
"
said
Moreau
,
turning
back
to
the
criminal
,
"
my
friend
--
Hullo
!
"
For
the
Leopard-man
,
released
from
Moreau
's
eye
,
had
risen
straight
from
his
knees
,
and
now
,
with
eyes
aflame
and
his
huge
feline
tusks
flashing
out
from
under
his
curling
lips
,
leapt
towards
his
tormentor
.
I
am
convinced
that
only
the
madness
of
unendurable
fear
could
have
prompted
this
attack
.
The
whole
circle
of
threescore
monsters
seemed
to
rise
about
us
.
I
drew
my
revolver
.
The
two
figures
collided
.
I
saw
Moreau
reeling
back
from
the
Leopard-man
's
blow
.
There
was
a
furious
yelling
and
howling
all
about
us
.
Every
one
was
moving
rapidly
.
For
a
moment
I
thought
it
was
a
general
revolt
.
The
furious
face
of
the
Leopard-man
flashed
by
mine
,
with
M'ling
close
in
pursuit
.
I
saw
the
yellow
eyes
of
the
Hyena-swine
blazing
with
excitement
,
his
attitude
as
if
he
were
half
resolved
to
attack
me
.
The
Satyr
,
too
,
glared
at
me
over
the
Hyena-swine
's
hunched
shoulders
.
I
heard
the
crack
of
Moreau
's
pistol
,
and
saw
the
pink
flash
dart
across
the
tumult
.
The
whole
crowd
seemed
to
swing
round
in
the
direction
of
the
glint
of
fire
,
and
I
too
was
swung
round
by
the
magnetism
of
the
movement
.
In
another
second
I
was
running
,
one
of
a
tumultuous
shouting
crowd
,
in
pursuit
of
the
escaping
Leopard-man
.
That
is
all
I
can
tell
definitely
.
I
saw
the
Leopard-man
strike
Moreau
,
and
then
everything
spun
about
me
until
I
was
running
headlong
.
M'ling
was
ahead
,
close
in
pursuit
of
the
fugitive
.
Behind
,
their
tongues
already
lolling
out
,
ran
the
Wolf-women
in
great
leaping
strides
.
The
Swine
folk
followed
,
squealing
with
excitement
,
and
the
two
Bull-men
in
their
swathings
of
white
.
Then
came
Moreau
in
a
cluster
of
the
Beast
People
,
his
wide-brimmed
straw
hat
blown
off
,
his
revolver
in
hand
,
and
his
lank
white
hair
streaming
out
.
The
Hyena-swine
ran
beside
me
,
keeping
pace
with
me
and
glancing
furtively
at
me
out
of
his
feline
eyes
,
and
the
others
came
pattering
and
shouting
behind
us
.
The
Leopard-man
went
bursting
his
way
through
the
long
canes
,
which
sprang
back
as
he
passed
,
and
rattled
in
M'ling
's
face
.
We
others
in
the
rear
found
a
trampled
path
for
us
when
we
reached
the
brake
.
The
chase
lay
through
the
brake
for
perhaps
a
quarter
of
a
mile
,
and
then
plunged
into
a
dense
thicket
,
which
retarded
our
movements
exceedingly
,
though
we
went
through
it
in
a
crowd
together
,
--
fronds
flicking
into
our
faces
,
ropy
creepers
catching
us
under
the
chin
or
gripping
our
ankles
,
thorny
plants
hooking
into
and
tearing
cloth
and
flesh
together
.
"
He
has
gone
on
all-fours
through
this
,
"
panted
Moreau
,
now
just
ahead
of
me
.
"
None
escape
,
"
said
the
Wolf-bear
,
laughing
into
my
face
with
the
exultation
of
hunting
.
We
burst
out
again
among
rocks
,
and
saw
the
quarry
ahead
running
lightly
on
all-fours
and
snarling
at
us
over
his
shoulder
.
At
that
the
Wolf
Folk
howled
with
delight
.
The
Thing
was
still
clothed
,
and
at
a
distance
its
face
still
seemed
human
;
but
the
carriage
of
its
four
limbs
was
feline
,
and
the
furtive
droop
of
its
shoulder
was
distinctly
that
of
a
hunted
animal
.
It
leapt
over
some
thorny
yellow-flowering
bushes
,
and
was
hidden
.
M'ling
was
halfway
across
the
space
.
Most
of
us
now
had
lost
the
first
speed
of
the
chase
,
and
had
fallen
into
a
longer
and
steadier
stride
.
I
saw
as
we
traversed
the
open
that
the
pursuit
was
now
spreading
from
a
column
into
a
line
.
The
Hyena-swine
still
ran
close
to
me
,
watching
me
as
it
ran
,
every
now
and
then
puckering
its
muzzle
with
a
snarling
laugh
.
At
the
edge
of
the
rocks
the
Leopard-man
,
realising
that
he
was
making
for
the
projecting
cape
upon
which
he
had
stalked
me
on
the
night
of
my
arrival
,
had
doubled
in
the
undergrowth
;
but
Montgomery
had
seen
the
manoeuvre
,
and
turned
him
again
.
So
,
panting
,
tumbling
against
rocks
,
torn
by
brambles
,
impeded
by
ferns
and
reeds
,
I
helped
to
pursue
the
Leopard-man
who
had
broken
the
Law
,
and
the
Hyena-swine
ran
,
laughing
savagely
,
by
my
side
.
I
staggered
on
,
my
head
reeling
and
my
heart
beating
against
my
ribs
,
tired
almost
to
death
,
and
yet
not
daring
to
lose
sight
of
the
chase
lest
I
should
be
left
alone
with
this
horrible
companion
.
I
staggered
on
in
spite
of
infinite
fatigue
and
the
dense
heat
of
the
tropical
afternoon
.
