Passage-4
When Ibbotson returned from Pauri, I told him of the leopard's habit of going down the road between Rudraprayag and Golabari on an average once in every five days. I convinced him that the only hope I now had of shooting the man-eater was by sitting over the road for ten nights: for, the leopard would be almost certain to use the road at least once during the period. Ibbotson agreed to my plan reluctantly, for I had already sat up many nights and he was afraid that another ten nights on end would be too much for me.
