 leap in my direction and be upon me. Instead, however, after what seemed a vast period, it slowly turned its eyes from my face, uttered a low whining sound, and came out altogether into the open. Then, for the first time, I saw it in its entirety and noted two things: it was about the size of a large dog, but at the same time it was utterly unlike any animal that I had ever seen. Also, that the quality that had impressed me first as being malefic was really only its singular and original strangeness. Foolish as it may sound, and impossible as it is for me to adduce proof, I can only say that the animal seemed to me then to be—not real. But all this passed through my mind in a flash, almost subconsciously, and before I had time to check my impressions, or even properly verify them, I made an involuntary movement, catching the tight rope in my hand so that it twanged like a banjo string, and in that instant the creature turned the corner of Sangree's tent and was gone into the darkness. E BEAST ANY MOMENT WOULD LEAP IN MY DIRECTION AND BE UPON ME INSTEAD HOWEVER AFTER WHAT SEEMED A VAST PERIOD IT SLOWLY TURNED ITS EYES FROM MY FACE UTTERED A LOW WHINING SOUND AND CAME OUT ALTOGETHER INTO THE OPEN THEN FOR THE FIRST TIME I SAW IT IN ITS ENTIRETY AND NOTED TWO THINGS IT WAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A LARGE DOG BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS UTTERLY UNLIKE ANY ANIMAL THAT I HAD EVER SEEN ALSO THAT THE QUALITY THAT HAD IMPRESSED ME FIRST AS BEING MALIFIC WAS REALLY ONLY ITS SINGULAR AND ORIGINAL STRANGENESS FOOLISH AS IT MAY SOUND AND IMPOSSIBLE AS IT IS FOR ME TO ADDUCE PROOF I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THE ANIMAL SEEMED TO ME THEN TO BE NOT REAL BUT ALL THIS PASSED THROUGH MY MIND IN A FLASH ALMOST SUBCONSCIOUSLY AND BEFORE I HAD TIME TO CHECK MY IMPRESSIONS OR EVEN PROPERLY VERIFY THEM I MADE AN INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENT CATCHING THE TIGHT ROPE IN MY HAND SO THAT IT TWANGED LIKE A BANJO STRING AND IN THAT INSTANT THE CREATURE TURNED THE CORNER OF SANGREE'S TENT AND WAS GONE INTO THE DARKNESS
