The charms of Iskwasis were indeed sufficient to turn the head of an older beau than Kawook.

She was a distinctive blonde; in other words, one of those unusual creatures of her kind, an albino.

Her nose was pink, the palms of her little feet were pink, and each of her pretty pink eyes was set in an iris of sky-blue.

It was evident that she did not regard old Kawook's passion-dance with favour and sensing this fact Kawook changed his tactics and falling on all four feet began to chase his spiky tail as if he had suddenly gone mad.

When he stopped, and looked to see what effect he had made he was clearly knocked out by the fact that Iskwasis had disappeared.
For another minute he sat stupidly, without making a sound.
