Title from item.
"The morning broke in one sheet of pale yellow behind the green hills, and the booming stopped with the first ray, as thought the light had been an order. Before Little Toomai had got the ringing out of his head, before even he had shifted his position, there was not an elephant in sight except Kala Nag, Pudmini, and the elephant with the rope-galls, and there was neither sign nor rustle nor whisper down the hillsides to show where the others had gone." --The Jungle Book, p. 237
