When there were three eggs to kill, Rikki-Tikki heard Darzee's wife screaming that Nagaina went into the house. Rikki-Tikki raced toward the house. When he went into the house he saw that Nagaina was holding the family hostage, so he could see them getting killed. On page 25 author mentioned, "...stay still. I am not ready yet. Wait a little.....If you move I strike, and if you don't move, I strike. Oh, foolish people, who killed my Nag!"
