There remains only my nose and the eye of the constabeel. Sahib, shall I ask for my dismissal because my Sahib has beaten me?" And Faiz Ullah laid his long thin hand carefully on Scott's chest to be sure that the fever was all gone, ere he went out to open tinned soups and discourage such as laughed at his swelled nose. "The district's all right," Scott whispered. "It doesn't make any difference.
Two minutes later he returned with a parchment in a tin tube. "Do I receive no recompense?" he asked. "Did I not find the title-deed and keep it safe? Where is the reward?" "Recompense?" growled Mukhum Dass. "To be out of jail is recompense! The next time you find property of mine, bring it to me, or the constabeel shall have work to do!" "Dog!" snarled the babu after him. "Dog of a usurer!

Almost exactly at dawn Sita Ram, as sleepy as a homing owl, reached his own small quarters in the densest part of town. He had his hand on the door when another hand restrained him from behind. "You know me?" said a voice he did not know. A moment later his terrified eyes informed him. "Mukhum Dass? I owe you nothing!" "Liar! You have my title-deed! Hand it over before I bring the constabeel!"
But the men will recognize me, and you shall see what you shall see!" Three small boys came with a coin to spend, but Ranjoor Singh drove them away with his long stick; they argued shrilly from a distance, and one threw a stone at him, but finally they decided he was some new sort of plain-clothes "constabeel," and went away.
"Go and get twenty more policemen to wipe away the blood!" advised Ranjoor Singh, sitting back in the saddle to get a better look at him, and reining back the impatient Bagh. "I am not a constabeel; I am a soldier." "Aha! Yes. You better hurry. All your men are underneath what-you- call-it? bottom dog. You better hurry like slippery!
He touched him on the shoulder and the fellow jumped. "Nay, sahib! I am only constabeel I know nothing I can do nothing! The teerain goes when it goes, and then perhaps we will beat these people from the platform and make room again! But there is no authority no law any more they are all gone mad!" King wrote on a pad, tore off a sheet, folded it and gave it to him.
The "constabeel" obeyed, not very cheerfully. King stood to watch him with a foot on the step of a first-class coach. Another constable passed him, elbowing a snail's progress between the train and the crowd. He seized the man's arm. "Go and help that man!" he ordered. "Hurry!" Then he climbed into the carriage and leaned from the window.
