A couple of men were already there. It was too early for official drinks, but the Bretagne knew no law. They ordered their drinks, and stood there while madame compounded them and put in the cherries.

The whole of the Chitralis had now joined Sher Afzul, most of them doubtless being forced to do so, by fear of the consequences that would ensue should they refuse.
