And 'e don't like anyone near 'im, they say, when 'e's a-'orse-tamin'. But 'e's a cure with 'em some'ow, that's a moral. Look at the man-eater tremblin'. " "It's an Ingin trick, I believe. No one don't know 'ow he does it. I believe it's what you call Hyperotomy or somethin', " Jack answered, stolidly, feeling his own neck carefully to see if it was still a certainty. "Gammon ! look at the 'orse. 'E's a-foam, 'e's tremblin' like mad; but see, he's off again to try to savage 'im yet after 'e's f...ound out what it is. What's the matter now?" By a turn of the wrist Bygrave had again dropped the whip, but with the handle towards the horse ; and now he had the silk cracker of the long lash between his thumb and forefinger, and, as if unable to help himself, the fascinated animal THE BLACK SNAKE 89 came tremblingly nearer and nearer, ever ready to break away, still furious for an open chance. Bygrave dropped his handkerchief carelessly and waited.
