The officer thanked the lady and salaamed again, then turned towards Kingsley. "You wished to speak with me, perhaps, Pasha," said Kingsley. "If a moment of your time may have so little honour, saadat el bey." Kingsley moved down the veranda shoulder to shoulder with the Pasha, and the latter's men, responding to a glance, moved down also. Kingsley saw, but gave no heed.
"I shall miss thee," said Mahommed Gunga after five minutes' reflection. "It is well that I have other servants in the north." "In what have I offended, sahib?" "In nothing. Therefore there is a trust imposed." The man salaamed. Mahommed Gunga produced his little handful of gold mohurs and divided it into two equal portions; one he handed to the squire. "Stay here.
As he knuckled the third signal, the door swung slowly inward, disclosing, in a dim glow of light, stone walls a bare stone chamber illumined by a single iron lamp hanging in chains from the ceiling. Across the room a dark entry opened upon a passageway equally dark. By the door a servant stood, his attitude deferential. As the Virginian's gaze fell upon him he salaamed respectfully.
"I have bathed in its waters, and of its waters I have drunk. I have salaamed the great Kelas, the sight of which alone can absolve all sins of humanity. I shall now go to heaven." "I shall be satisfied if we get as far as Lhassa," grumbled the sceptical Mansing, out of ear-reach of the Tibetans.
He would have been made sad if his favorite had run away and been lost. Then he salaamed once more and got through the skylight and across the slates again with as much agility as the monkey himself had displayed. When he had gone Sara stood in the middle of her attic and thought of many things his face and his manner had brought back to her.
Conscious that he made a very poor appearance in his tatters, Desmond felt that the two men looked at him with contempt. A brief conversation passed between them; then the Maratha salaamed to Angria and went from the room, beckoning Desmond to follow him. They went out of the precincts of the palace, and through a part of the town, until they arrived at the docks.
These were the escort who had ridden with the Rajah from Tripataly for no Indian prince would think of making a journey, unless accompanied by a numerous retinue. Scarcely had he entered the yard than Rajbullub came up, with the officer in command of the escort, a fine-looking specimen of a Hindoo soldier. He salaamed, as Rajbullub presented him to Dick.
So long as you did not ask me to do such things as would be unlawful in the eyes of Allah and the Prophet, and seek to force me to them, this hand of mine would wither before it would be raised against the preserver of my life! I pray you, M'almé, let me go!" "I grant it. Ru'c'h halla!" Rrisa salaamed again, and, noiseless as a wraith, departed.
He salaamed now towards the lady, and Kingsley murmured his name to her. "Will you not be seated," she said, and touched a chair as though to sit down, yet casting a doubtful glance at the squad of men and the brilliant kavass drawn up near by. The Pasha looked from one to the other, and Kingsley spoke. "What is it, Pasha? Her ladyship doesn't know why she should be honoured."
At the close, the youngest, apparently about twelve years of age, rose, salaamed to me in Indian fashion, took four silver bangles from her arm, and presented them to me, saying, "Padre, I want to take shares in your Mission Ship by these bangles, for I have no money, and may the Lord ever bless you!"
