Every one talked at once, loudly, and with exaggerated decision, obviously trying to say something plausible against heavy odds, striving to explain naturally that an animal might so easily conceal itself from us, or swim away before we had time to light upon its trail. EVERYONE TALKED AT ONCE LOUDLY AND WITH EXAGGERATED DECISION OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING PLAUSIBLE AGAINST HEAVY ODDS STRIVING TO EXPLAIN NATURALLY THAT AN ANIMAL MIGHT SO EASILY CONCEAL ITSELF FROM US OR SWIM AWAY BEFORE WE HAD TIME TO LIGHT UPON ITS TRAIL
All about us the pines made black splashes against the sky. It was an angry sunrise. Rain, indeed, had already begun to fall in big drops. We turned, as by a common instinct, and, without speech, made our way back slowly to the stockade, Maloney humming snatches of his songs, Sangree in front with his gun, prepared to shoot at a moment's notice, and the women floundering in the rear with myself and the extinguished lanterns. Yet it was only a dog! Really, it was most singular when one came to reflect soberly upon it all. Events, say the occultists, have souls, or at least that agglomerate life due to the emotions and thoughts of all concerned in them, so that cities, and even whole countries, have great astral shapes which may become visible to the eye of vision; and certainly here, the soul of this drive—this vain, blundering, futile drive—stood somewhere between ourselves and—laughed. All of us heard that laugh, and all of us tried hard to smother the sound, or at least to ignore it. AND HURRYING PROCESSION IN THE AIR ALL ABOUT US THE PINES MADE BLACK SPLASHES AGAINST THE SKY IT WAS AN ANGRY SUNRISE RAIN INDEED HAD ALREADY BEGUN TO FALL IN BIG DROPS WE TURNED AS BY A COMMON INSTINCT AND WITHOUT SPEECH MADE OUR WAY BACK SLOWLY TO THE STOCKADE MALONEY HUMMING SNATCHES OF HIS SONGS SANGREE IN FRONT WITH HIS GUN PREPARED TO SHOOT AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE AND THE WOMEN FLOUNDERING IN THE REAR WITH MYSELF AND THE EXTINGUISHED LANTERNS YET IT WAS ONLY A DOG REALLY IT WAS MOST SINGULAR WHEN ONE CAME TO REFLECT SOBERLY UPON IT EVENTS SAY THE OCCULTISTS HAVE SOULS OR AT LEAST THAT AGGLOMERATE LIFE DUE TO THE EMOTIONS AND THOUGHTS OF ALL CONCERNED IN THEM SO THAT CITIES AND EVEN WHOLE COUNTRIES HAVE GREAT ASTRAL SHAPES WHICH MAY BECOME VISIBLE TO THE EYE OF VISION AND CERTAINLY HERE THE SOUL OF THIS DRIVE THIS VAIN BLUNDERING FUTILE DRIVE STOOD SOMEWHERE BETWEEN OURSELVES AND LAUGHED ALL OF US HEARD THAT LAUGH AND ALL OF US TRIED HARD TO SMOTHER THE SOUND OR AT LEAST TO IGNORE IT
