The ayah shrank away from him and tried to scream, but he gripped her by the throat and shook her. "Speak!" he growled again. But his ten iron fingers held her in a vise-like grip and she could not have answered him if she had tried to. "O Risaldar!" called Ruth suddenly, with her head still out of the window. He released the ayah and let her tumble as she pleased into a heap. "Heavenborn?"
Jungi will drive the carr'ge afther all's over, an' you come to the station, cool an' aisy, in time for the two o'clock thrain, where I'll be wid your kit." "Faith," thinks I to myself, "thin there's a ayah in the business tu!" 'A powerful bad thing is a ayah. Don't you niver have any thruck wid wan.
"Trust me!" laughed Nick. There came a knock at the door, to which Kasur responded. It was Olga's ayah. A few whispered words passed between them, then the khitmutgar softly closed it and approached Nick. "Miss sahib is tired this morning, and cannot ride with the sahibs. She asks that you will go to her, sahib, before you leave." Nick glanced at Max. "You had better come too."
In old times I had always been accustomed to be watched to sleep by Ayah. After I came to Aunt Theresa, I slept in the same room with one or more of the other children. At The Vine, for the first time, I slept alone. This was not all. It was not merely the being alone in the dark which frightened me.
And that my lord the captain sahib lives is also true. Hanani swears it by her grey hairs." "Then where where is the captain sahib?" whispered Stella. The ayah shook her head. "It is not given to Hanani to know all things," she protested. "But she can find out. Does the mem-sahib desire her to find out?" "Yes," Stella breathed.
'Ayah, the doctor-sahib said in the vernacular, standing beside the bed, 'the fever of the mistress is like fire. Without doubt it cannot go on thus, but all that is in your hand to do you have done. It is necessary now only to be very watchful. And it will be to dress the mistress, and to make everything ready for a journey.
The Major, my father, and two other officers had been pall-bearers at the funeral. My father came to me on his return. He was slightly chilled, and said he should remain indoors; so I had him all to myself, and we were very happy, though he complained of fatigue, and fell asleep once on the floor with his head in my lap. He was still lying on the floor when Ayah took me to bed.
Towards the middle of the fourth day, reason had somewhat resumed its sway, and the violence of the pains she had experienced were subdued, the ayah had arrived from the Capital and now resumed her attendance upon her mistress. She had sought out the native doctor who attended the sick of the plantation.
He will give you two pounds of milk for the baby for five rupees. 'Rupia! I have not even one! said the ayah, looking toward the bed; 'the captain-sahib has not come these thirty days as he promised. The colonel-sahib has sent the food. The memsahib is for three days without a pice. 'I'll pay, said the doctor shortly, and turned hurriedly to go.
Oh, Lord Bishop!" so terrible was the pain he suffered in his arm. His wife, who was my baby's ayah, appeared in the morning. He meekly obeyed; but, poor man, he had abscesses under his arm, and fell into weak health afterwards; so it is evidently unwise to despise a cobra. There were many other snakes besides cobras, some poisonous, but most of them harmless.
