I got it from Yasmini herself, from three of the hill-men who were present, and from the Afridi who was kicked and beaten. All except the Afridi, who wasn't there by that time, agreed that Ranjoor Singh had words with the German afterward. Eh? What's that?" He listened again for about five minutes, and then hung up the receiver with an expression of mixed irritation and amusement.
"Hardly the place for it either, one would suppose." He vaguely thought that he would both sound and warn Lady Henry. Warn her of what? He happened on the way home to have been thrown with a couple of Indian officers whose personal opinion of Harry Warkworth was not a very high one, in spite of the brilliant distinction which the young man had earned for himself in the Afridi campaign just closed.
If a man has a price at all, his price is neither high nor low, but just that price that you will pay him. Of course an Afridi can be depended on to overdo anything. The particular Afridi whom Ranjoor Singh had kicked was able to see very little virtue in Yasmin's method of attack.
He felt, however, that he must give his leg another day's rest before proceeding. On the following day he suffered a good deal from thirst, and dared not venture down to the river. When it was dark, however, he continued his way. Presently he saw something white, huddled up behind a rock and, climbing up, he found that it was the dead body of an Afridi, who had fallen in the fight.
King glanced to his left and saw that there was no risk of being overheard or interrupted by Ismail; the Afridi was beating his fists together, rocking from side to side in frenzy, and letting out about one yell a minute that would have curdled a wolf's heart. "Nay, I have all I need!" he answered, and the Pathan laughed. "In thine own time, hakim! Need forgets none of us!" "True!" said King.
The Guides were daily expecting orders to advance into the Khyber Pass at the head of an army, and would thus at the very outset be fighting against some of the men's own relations and friends. Amongst these men was a young Afridi soldier, who was sore puzzled what to do.
The eyes of both had seen; the hearts of both had felt. And now, in the English House of Commons, there were men who doubted and sneered about these things who held an Afridi life dearer than an English one who cared nothing for the historic task, who would let India go to-morrow without a pang! Misguided recreants! But Mrs.
The Afridi and Pathan companies of the Guides, uttering shrill cries of exultation, culminating in an extraordinary yell, dashed forward, climbed the hill as only hillmen can climb, and cleared the crest. On the side of the next hill the figures of the retreating tribesmen were visible, and many were shot down before they could find shelter.
"Whenever we miss you we shall know that, sooner or later, you will turn up, like a bad penny. If you hadn't got that wound in the leg which, by the way, the surgeon had better dress and examine in the morning I should have said that you were invulnerable to Afridi bullets.
Never an Afridi spake his own tongue better!" "Yet does a Hillman slip? Would a Hillman use Punjabi words in a careless moment?" "God forbid!" "Therefore, thou dunderhead, I will be a Rangar Rajput, a stranger in a strange land, traveling by her favor to visit her in Khinjan!
