MRS. G. That last terrible night. CAPT. G. Then just you forget all about it. It has brought us very close together, my husband. There! CAPT. G. I gave her fifty dibs. MRS. G. So she told me. It was a 'normous reward. Was I worth it? Here's the khitmatgar. Two lumps or one, Sir? If thou hast run with the footmen and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses?
There were more greetings, and then the head khitmatgar appeared and informed the "Sahib log, protectors of the poor, that their meat was ready." So we filed into the dining-room.

BLAYNE. Phew! The Judge ought to be hanged in his own store-godown. Hi, khitmatgar! Poora whiskey-peg, to take the taste out of my mouth. What the deuce made you dine at the Judge's? You know his bandobust. Is this all of you tonight? Mingle had a pain in his tummy. CURTISS. Miggy dies of cholera once a week in the Rains, and gets drunk on chlorodyne in between.

The man rose sleepily and preceded him into the house.
Biel held his tongue, and the other men waited to see what would happen. They trusted Strickland as men trust quiet men. When the case came off the Court was crowded.

He that sees in his own house, at home, little children crowned with dust, leaping and falling and crying. Munichandra, translated by Professor Peterson. The polo-ball was an old one, scarred, chipped, and dinted. It stood on the mantelpiece among the pipe-stems which Imam Din, khitmatgar, was cleaning for me. 'Does the Heaven-born want this ball? said Imam Din deferentially.
Does the story show "poetic insight"? Cf. House of the Seven Gables, Chap. Does the change wrought in Roaring Camp seem to you to be reasonable?
