“Would you recognize him again if you met him? Describe him, if you can.”
“Yes. I used to know him well—before he became known as an outlaw,” she added after a perceptible hesitation. “There’s something ravenous about him.”
“You mean that he is fierce and bloodthirsty?”
“No—I don’t mean that; though, for that matter, I don’t think he would stick at anything. What I mean is that he is pantherine in his movements—more lithe and supple than most men are.”
“Is he a big man?”
“No—medium size, and dark.”
“There were four of them, you say?”
“Yes. Jack saw them, too, but at a distance.”
“He reached you after they were out of sight?”
“They had been gone about five minutes when I saw him—five or ten. I couldn’t be sure.”
