All unconsciously his frequent and rapt contemplation of this object wasstanding him in valuable stead. The Ba-gcatya, furtively beholding himthus engaged, --for he was never beyond their watchful gaze, --werestrengthened in their belief that he was a magician of the Spider, andfeared him the more. He was thus, unconsciously, keeping up hischaracter as such.

All its old conventionalities, its abstract notions of rightand wrong, what were they? Dust. Even now, whither was he wending? Wouldhe ever again behold a white face? It might be never.
