At this speech the face of Hafela was
suddenly lit up with the fire OF hope, while
over that of Hokosa there passed another
subtle change. The girl glanced at them
both. and was silent for a while. Her breast
heayed and her white teeth bit upon her
lip. To Owen, who noted all, it was clear
that rival passions were struggling in her
heart, the passion of power and the passion
of love. or OF some emotion which he did not
understand. Hokosa fixed his calm eyes
upon her with a strange intensity of gaze,
and while he gazed his form quivered with
a suppressed excitement, much as a snake
quivers that is about to strike its prey. To
the careless eye there was nothing remark
able about his look and attitude: to the OBJ
