In some moments of the telling, it was like a phantom part of himself that he was questing for, through her words. Finally Skag heard that Carlin had spent eight years in England studying medicine and surgery, and again that the natives called her the Gul Moti, which means the Rose Pearl; or Hakima, which means physician. But her own name was Carlin!
With passionate distress they saw the King wounded almost to death less than four months since carrying a heavy howdah and three men going in to fight with a bad elephant who was all but fresh. They cursed the wild elephant with every inward breath, seeing as little hope for Neela Deo as they had seen for Gunpat Rao. The Gul Moti watched appalled.
They found four very disconsolate mahouts on the bank of the river beside the great pile of nicely arranged stuff. "I want the smallest howdah you have!" called the Gul Moti, as the men sprang in front of Mitha Baba. "But, Hakima-ji," they protested, "by getting down we were left behind!"
"Good!" cried the Prince. "I accept the name. To distinguish the living from the dead, I too will call her my Gul Bahar." Thereupon the men sat, and arranged the new relation, omitting nothing possible of anticipation. Next day the Prince's house was opened with every privilege to the child.

That day I did not hunt, but stayed at home to follow the matter up. I lay down as usual at night and pretended to fall asleep. When I seemed safely off Gul got up and went to the stable as her custom was. That night it was Tiger's turn. She rode off on him, and I took Windfoot and followed. With me went that dog you see, a faithful friend who never left me.
'Now, said the king, 'you have seen these things and your purpose is fulfilled. 'Truly, said the prince, 'I have seen things which I have not understood; what do they mean, and what is the story of them? Tell me and kill me. Then said the king: 'The woman you see there in chains is my wife; she is called Gul, the Rose, and I am Sinaubar, the Cypress.
