And then he ceased from humming. Then he set the lantern down and stepped away from it sidewise until its light no longer shone on him. He listened, as a dog does, with intelligence and skill. Then, suddenly, he sprang and lit on a bulky mass that yielded gasped spluttered did anything but yell. "So you rode on the luggage-rack behind the carriage, did you, babuji?" he smiled.
Hiramani wagged her head sententiously. "Babuji, I am afraid you are in a serious scrape. The matter has gone too far to be hushed up a second time. You cannot do anything directly without increasing the suspicion which attaches to you; but I will watch events and keep you informed of all that happens at the police station. You know I have friends there." Debendra Babu was profuse in his thanks.
He therefore addressed the newcomer in accents of wrath. "What do you want here, you son of a pig?" "Babuji," pleaded Karim, "my stars are unlucky. You know how wretched the rice harvest has been." "Yes, we know all that," replied Santi, who sat near his master. "It's the old story, when people who can pay won't pay. Have you brought the money, eh?" Karim was obliged to confess he had not.
But Srikrishna, who was the bailiff of his circle, happened to see him and asked whether he had brought his rent. Sádhu got up, salámed humbly, and replied, "Babuji, you know my present circumstances well". "Answer yes or no," thundered Srikrishna, "I have no time to listen to your excuses." "Your servant is a very poor man," continued Sádhu, shaking from head to foot.
What khad is there that I do not know, from the bottom of the shaft to the end of the last drive? Is it the Baromba khad, the oldest, or the Twenty-Two where Tibu's gallery runs up to Number Five?" "Hear the old fool talk!" said Kundoo, nodding to Unda. "No gallery of Twenty-Two will cut into Five before the end of the Rains. We have a month's solid coal before us. The Babuji says so." "Babuji!
"Where was Ranjoor Singh when he gave you that ring and message?" demanded Warrington sternly, increasing his grip on the babu's fat arm. "Sahib, when I have received payment for first service rendered, my disposition may be changed. I am as yet in condition of forma pauperis." Still holding him tight, Warrington produced twenty rupees in paper money. "Can you see those, babuji? See them?
"Babuji, do you know us?" "How can I know you?" groaned their victim. "Your faces are blackened and concealed by your turbans. Gentlemen, I implore you to spare my life! I never injured any of you." "Indeed!" replied the sardar sarcastically; "you have been the ruin of us all. So we have determined to take the law into our own hands.
"Delhi is right, sahib?" he asked, to make doubly sure; for in India where the milk of human kindness is not hawked in the market- place, men will pay over-measure for a smile. "Yes. Delhi is right. Thank you, babuji."
'But why come here, Babuji? 'Ah! Thatt is the question, as Shakespeare hath it. I come to congratulate you on your extraordinary effeecient performance at Delhi. Oah! I tell you we are all proud of you. It was verree neat and handy. Our mutual friend, he is old friend of mine. He has been in some dam'-tight places. Now he will be in some more.
The spell cast by her malice was broken. Debendra Babu in Trouble. "Who is she?" asked Nalini looking up from a law book which he was studying. "Surely you know my sister, Chota Babu?" "Yes, of course, what's the matter with her?" "She has been ill for three days, with excruciating internal pains; what am I to do, Bábuji?" "Who is treating her?" asked Nalini.
