  • Sometimes.
  • Do one thing for me, Sredni Vashtar.
  • Although Conradin's cousin, Mrs. De Ropp, "would never... have confessed to herself that she disliked Conradin," she frequently rebuked and mistreated the child; therefore, "Conradin hated her with a desperate sincerity" (Saki lines 11-14).
  • 
  • Moreover, Conradin, who frequently relied upon his imagination, found refuge in a small shed within De Ropp's yard. At this region, he became acquainted with a "Houdan hen" and a "pole-cat ferret," whom he called "Sredni Vashtar" (Saki lines 28, 31, 41, and 42).
  • Theme/Message/Conclusion
  • Furthermore, in "Sredni Vashtar," Hector Munro conveys the belief that individuals obtain their due compensation by vividly portraying the ultimate result of Mrs. De Ropp's disdain towards her younger cousin, Conradin.For instance, the woman sold his beloved Houdan hen and later sought to remove the animal that persistently induced Conradin to visit the shed. This illustrates her lack of motherly compassion and tenderness towards the young boy, which essentially brought about Conradin's miserable demeanor and eventual prayer for liberty from his idolized ferret. Nonetheless, Mrs. De Ropp was then executed by Sredni Vashtar, thus freeing the boy from his cousin's domineering authority and compensating the woman's unjust actions.
  • Mrs. De Ropp had expected "an outbreak of rage and sorrow" upon informing Conradin of the Houdan hen's departure; nevertheless, his lack of sentimental response concealed the young boy's bitterness towards his cousin (Saki line 62). As a result, Conradin prayed and requested "a boon" from his idol (Saki line 72).
  • Soon afterward, when Mrs. De Ropp realized that her cousin's visits to the shed persisted, the woman located his hidden key and ventured into the structure. Conradin, meanwhile, observed from the window of the home and chanted the "hymn of his threatened idol" (Saki lines 99-100).
  • Sredni Vashtar went forth,His thoughts were red thoughts and his teeth were white.His enemies called for peace, but he brought them death.Sredni Vashtar the Beautiful.
