About eighteen miles from Udaipur we passed the ruins of Ontala. Here, in the stormy time when Jehangir had seized Chitor, there happened a desperate deed.
Meg raised herself from her reclining position. "She will help me, if Michael's ill, Freddy." "I don't suppose he is I think we'd have heard." "I think that's why we haven't heard," Margaret said quickly. Freddy remained silent. He thought otherwise. He had a man's knowledge of men.
But within there was a solemn hush, that to the small watcher seemed quite appalling. Roy, as the other dog was named on his collar, dozed at his master's feet.
