CHAPTER 23 THE GOD’S DOMAIN

Not only was White Fang1 adaptable2 by nature, but he had travelled much, and knew the meaning and necessity of adjustment. Here, in Sierra Vista3, which was the name of Judge Scott’s place, White Fang quickly began to make himself at home. He had no further serious trouble with the dogs. They knew more about the ways of the Southland gods than did he, and in their eyes he had qualified4 when he accompanied the gods inside the house. Wolf that he was, and unprecedented5 as it was, the gods had sanctioned his presence, and they, the dogs of the gods, could only recognise this sanction.
Dick, perforce, had to go through a few stiff formalities at first, after which he calmly accepted White Fang as an addition to the premises6. Had Dick had his way, they would have been good friends. All but White Fang was averse7 to friendship. All he asked of other dogs was to be let alone. His whole life he had kept aloof8 from his kind, and he still desired to keep aloof. Dick’s overtures9 bothered him, so he snarled10 Dick away. In the north he had learned the lesson that he must let the master’s dogs alone, and he did not forget that lesson now. But he insisted on his own privacy and self-seclusion, and so thoroughly12 ignored Dick that that good-natured creature finally gave him up and scarcely took as much interest in him as in the hitching-post near the stable.
