"There is no such joyful news for me, sir," he said, at length, in as firm a voice as he could command. "Don't you believe that story," cried Mr. Brown, heartily. "Plenty of men have received pardons, and they didn't deserve them as much as you. My word for that." "Bushrangers get there before us," muttered the natives. "Kala is right.
You have come and taught the sculptor that his work is but clay dust; only a copy of the outer shell of the kernel we ought to seek. Poor Kala! her earthly life was but like a short journey. Yonder above, where those who sympathise shall be gathered together, she and I will probably be almost strangers." "That is not a kind speech," said Sophie; "it is not a Christian one.
Little Toomai's face was gray and pinched, and his hair was full of leaves and drenched with dew, but he tried to salute Petersen Sahib, and cried faintly: "The dance the elephant dance! I have seen it, and I die!" As Kala Nag sat down, he slid off his neck in a dead faint.
"Why, they were little lovers in childhood, even!" said Theresa, the wife of Johann Dyne, the toy-vender in the next street; and Kala, who had perhaps forgotten the time when her child-lover had knocked her into the gutter, smiled, and showed her beautiful white teeth, and suffered the remark to pass uncontradicted.

There was one blast of furious trumpeting from the lines, and then the silence shut down on everything, and Kala Nag began to move.
Little Toomai looked back, and behind him a great wild tusker with his little pig's eyes glowing like hot coals was just lifting himself out of the misty river. Then the trees closed up again, and they went on and up, with trumpetings and crashings, and the sound of breaking branches on every side of them. At last Kala Nag stood still between two tree-trunks at the very top of the hill.
It was probably Rusas I who erected the buildings on Toprak Kala, the hill to the east of Van, traces of which remain to the present day. Rusas III rebuilt the temple on Toprak Kala, as we know from an inscription of his on one of the shields from that place in the British Museum.
What does it mean? 'It is an order, said Tallantire. He had expected something of this kind. 'He is a very clever S-sahib. 'He a Sahib! He's a kala admi a black man unfit to run at the tail of a potter's donkey. All the peoples of the earth have harried Bengal. It is written.
