There are many indications that the Thug often hunted men for the mere sport
of it; that the fright and pain of the quarry were no more to him than are the
fright and pain of the rabbit or the stag to us; and that he was no more ashamed
of beguiling his game with deceits and abusing its trust than are we when we
have imitated a wild animal's call and shot it when it honored us with its confidence
and came to see what we wanted.
