"Good day, Sirdar," he cried gaily; and, "How listen the gods to your prayers, my dear Dewani?" Baptiste, out of the fulness of his heart soon broached the troublous thing: "Prince," he begged, "obtain from the worthy Peshwa a command and I'll march against this wolf, Amir Khan, and remove from our path the threatened danger."
