Quote #10
Rikki-tikki had a right to be proud of himself; but he did not grow too proud, and he kept that garden as a mongoose should keep it, with tooth and jump and spring and bite, till never a cobra dared show its head inside the walls. (111)
Rikki-tikki doesn't get too complacent in his big-boy boots. He maintains a diligence that proves he's come into a true maturity. Good for him!
