Narayan Singh found his proper place alongside me, with the halter of Ayisha's camel in his hand; and he said nothing either. Suddenly Grim reached out and seized old Ali Baba by the shoulder, drawing him close and growling into his ear. I could not catch the words, but he repeated them again and again, and Ali Baba nodded vehemently.
I could not see her face then, because she was staring at Narayan Singh. "Do you realize whose wife you are tampering with?" she asked him. "Hah! Where I come from a man must guard his women if he hopes to keep them." "Where you are going to, such a man as you will find his own life hard enough to keep," she retorted. "Bismillah! I have kept it thus far," said Narayan Singh.
Narayan Singh was the first to see him go, but it was half a minute before he could get near Grim and call his attention to it. Grim ordered three of Ali Baba's men in pursuit at once. "Shall we shoot? Shall we slay?" asked one of them. "No, no. He hasn't committed any crime yet. Catch him and bring him back." "Crime? What is crime out here? We can kill him. But overtake him on that beast?
Don't hit him with your hand, Narayan Singh, for that might hurt his feelings. Use a stick, and give him a grown man's beating." "Atcha, sahib." Two minutes later yells like a hungry bobcat's gave notice to whom it might concern that the Sikh was carrying out the letter of his orders. It was good music.
I know all the turns and corridors of these caves, and everyone is free to choose his way," answered Gulab-Sing; and I thought I saw a look of intelligence pass between him and Narayan, who simply cowered under his fiery eyes. "However, let us go to the cave where breakfast is ready for us. Fresh air will do all of you good."
At the outset let me assure Sir Narayan that I have not changed my views on Ahimsa. I still believe that man not having been given the power of creation does not possess the right of destroying the meanest creature that lives. The prerogative of destruction belongs solely to the creator of all that lives.
At that Narayan Singh broke silence, and although he denied it afterward I know that his only motive was to get a little preliminary vengeance on Ayisha for the names she had called him. He maintains that he was "casting a stone, as it were, into a pond to see which way the ripples went." "Few women will refuse to follow a Pathan when honored by his admiration," he boomed.
He was next in front of me, and I saw him exchange signals with a fat man in a house door, who may have been Rafiki the wool-merchant. Narayan Singh was next behind me, and I looked back to make sure that he had seen the signal too.
Don't want too much from him. Don't want to have to arrest him. Get me?" "Come on then," answered Jeremy, "I've promised him a shirt!" Beyond the screen Narayan Singh stood like a statue, deaf, dumb, immovable. Even his eyes were fixed with a blank stare on the wall opposite. "How much did you hear?" Grim asked him. "I, sahib? I am a sick man. I have been asleep." "Dream anything?"
One man struggled with Narayan Singh and kept him busy with his bulk so wedged across the opening that Grim and Hadad were as good as demobilized out in the corridor; and the other two tackled me like a pair of butchers hacking at a maddened bull.
