peacefully while I cowered before captain’s whip. I got a totally wrong idea of human
being at that angle. I had thought that they were strong and fearless. But now I found them
running from me like a herd of deer, although I had no intention of attacking them. When
I paused in front of a tailor’s shop, he abandoned his machine and shut himself in a cupboard,
wailing, “Alas, I am undone, won’t someone shoot that tiger?”
A prisoner, between two constables, got his chance to escape when the constables
fled, abandoning him with his handcuffs. I tore a horse from its Jutka and enjoyed the
sight of the passengers spilling out of it and running for their lives.
Sheer hopelessness seems to have seized the townspeople. They withdrew to their
homes and even there remained nervous. All doors and windows everywhere were
shut, bolted and sealed. Some even thought that I was some extraordinary creature
who might pass through the walls and lie in wait on the roof or in the basement. Why
should an ordinary, simple tiger have any interest in them either to destroy or to
safeguard?
