Somebody's word has got to break, and you may take it from me that it will be the word of the weakest man! I think that that man is Jaimihr, but I can't be sure in advance, and we've got to accept his promise to begin with. Go to him, Miss McClean, and make a very careful bargain with him along the line I mapped out for you. Alwa-sahib, I want witnesses, or rather overhearers.

"Jaimihr-sahib" she raised her voice a little now "if I help you to escape, will you promise me my safety under all conditions?" "Surely, sahiba!" "Do you swear to protect every living person on this hill, including the Alwa-sahib and Cunningham-sahib?" "Surely, sahiba." "You swear it?" "I swear it on my honor. There is no more sacred oath." "Then, listen. I can help you to escape now.

Mahommed Gunga leaped to his feet, and came to attention with a military clatter. Alwa stared, inclining his head a trifle in recognition of the bow, but evidently taken by surprise. "Then, good-by, Alwa-sahib." Cunningham stretched out a hand.

"Then I do with Jaimihr as I like?" "I gave my word, sahib." "Thanks. You'll be glad before we've finished. Now I've left the raising of as many men as can be raised to you, Alwa-sahib. You will remember that you gave your promise on that count, too." "I will keep that promise, too, sahib." "Good. You shall have a road clear by tonight."

He's half-dead too." "My name is Cunningham." "I'm Miss McClean. My father was a missionary in Howrah." She nodded to a chair beside her, and Cunningham took it, feeling awkward, as men of his type usually do when they meet a woman in a strange place. "How in the world did you get in?" she asked him. "It's two days now since the Alwa-sahib told us that the whole country is in rebellion.

Are you?" "By the breath of God, sahib, I am thinking you leave me little choice!" "I still await an answer. I am calling on you for as many men as you can raise, and I have made you specific promises. Choose, Alwa-sahib. Yes or no?" "The answer is yes but "

"Then remove these people to the place where they were, and afterward admit him without his guards!" "I demand permission to speak with this Alwa-sahib!" said McClean. "Remove them!" Two spear-armed custodians of the door advanced. Resistance was obviously futile.
