Mollie flew for the big bucket of water, which they always kept in a certain spot. She flung the water on the flames, but water will not quench the flames made from oil. The rail began to crackle, the sparks to fly. The "Merry Maid" was afire, with only one, feeble girl to save it! Mollie knew that there were steamer blankets in the bedrooms of the cabin.

Our dinner-table was set out on the platform of the station at Chitorgarh, and our bedrooms were close by, our host and hostess sleeping in the "special" by which they were to return to Udaipur in the morning, while we slept in a siding, ready to be coupled up to the early train from Bombay.

"I shall only want two sitting-rooms and two bedrooms one for myself and one for Clara and should like to have them somewhere near Piccadilly in Clarges street, or about there.
