Rejtő Jenő - Tigrisvér

"Molly wrung her fingers in agony. What hurts? He did not know. Here stood that open-faced, calm young man... Of all the men in the world, this would be the dearest to her, but... But this is a monster! Son of the Tiger. – Why... did... all this? After all, he hates us and everyone... Molly stepped in front of him, very close. She looked straight into his eyes with wide eyes. They stood like that for a long time. Robin turned his head slowly. A painful twitch vibrated on the edge of his mouth. "Robin," the girl whispered, "speak honestly... I don't know... I don't want to believe... How he wanted to put his arms around the girl, hold her close, because he loved her!" "Robin," she said now. already more mildly, with teary eyes, and put both hands on the other's shoulders. "What do you want?", he asked hoarsely, impatiently, "doesn't it matter what the truth is?" I am the son of the Tiger! I have tiger blood. I have to avoid it if I love someone! All my ancestors were robbers, and all my descendants would be robbers... I have tiger blood in my veins! Get away from me, Molly... She'll be damned if she touches me... They looked at each other. And they both saw a face: half of the eyebrows were shaved, a cat's mustache, a shaved chin... The Tiger grinned at them. The ancestor!"
