H.H. Munro (SAKI) Esme
“The hyena hailed our approach with unmistakable relief and demonstrations of
friendliness. It had probably been accustomed to uniform kindness from humans,
while its first experience of a pack of hounds had left a bad impression. The
hounds looked more than ever embarrassed as their quarry paraded its sudden
intimacy with us, and the faint toot of a horn in the distance was seized on as
a welcome signal for unobtrusive departure. Constance and I and the hyena were
left alone in the gathering twilight.”
From the Short Story of the Day.
