He is no fool. He knows what the Barhwi means when it is angry. Aha! Indeed, thou art no fool, my child! Salaam, Ram Pershad, Bahadur! Take him under the trees, mahout, and see that he gets his spices. Well done, thou chiefest among tuskers. Salaam to the Sirkar and go to sleep. What is to be done? The Sahib must wait till the river goes down.
"Surely fifteen hundred. Not a sabre less." "All horsed and armed?" "Surely, bahadur. Of what use would be a rabble? I was speaking in terms of men able to fight, as one soldier to another." "Will you raise those men?" "Of a truth, I must, sahib!" Alwa laughed. "Jaimihr's thousands will be in no mind to lie leaderless and let Howrah ride rough-shod over them! They know his charity of old!
"Sahib bahadur, because he wrote in his book that people in France should pray for me in church, naming my honorable name, because, says he but I will not repeat what he says. It is not seemly." "How do you know what is in his diary?" Monty asked. "That German read it out to me. We were sitting, he and I, discussing how the Turks intend to butcher the Armenians, as all the world knows is written.
They will be here to claim their Prince within a day or two, and without my fifteen hundred how would I stand? Surely, bahadur, I will raise my fifteen hundred." "Very well. Now I will make you a proposal. On behalf of the Company I offer you and your men pay at the rate paid to all irregular cavalry on a war basis. In return, I demand your allegiance." "To whom, sahib? To you or to the Company?"
I am thankful to say that the work of our expedition was successful in all its branches; but what we should have done without Imam Sharif, Khan Bahadur, I cannot tell. He was the greatest help to us in every way, and it was an untold comfort to have one brave person as anxious to get on as ourselves. I have always been sorry that the map was made on so small a scale eight miles to an inch.
'He may, for aught I know; but I don't think it's likely. He has only been here two or three days, I answered. 'What's your notion? 'I can't quite tell. How the dickens did the man get the wrong side of the ceiling-cloth? There was a heavy coughing outside Strickland's bedroom door. This showed that Bahadur Khan, his body-servant, had waked from sleep and wished to put Strickland to bed.
I would like to have my hands in that Hindoo's treasure-chests! We none of us know yet, bahadur, what is this plan of thine " "You've been guessing awfully close to it, I think" laughed Cunningham. "Aha! The treasure-chests, then! But is there have you information, sahib? Who knows, then who has told where they are? Neither I nor my men know!" "Send for Mahommed Gunga."
Monty nodded, smiling gravely. There was a fire at the back of Monty's eyes and something in his bearing I had never seen before. "Then I go with my colonel sahib!" announced Rustum Khan. "That gipsy woman will kill him otherwise!" "Better help hunt for the lady, Rustum Khan." "Nay, colonel sahib bahadur thy blood on my head! I go with thee into hell and out beyond if need be!"
Sahib bahadur, I take my stand with the defenseless, where I know thou and thy friends will surely be! I am thy man!" "It is not included in our plans to fight," said Monty. "Sahib, there is always work for real soldiers!" "What do you fellows say? Shall we let him come with us?" "I travel at my own charges, sahib. I am well mounted and well armed." "Sure, let him come with us!" said Will.
The flash and the smoke blinded him; the burst of the discharge within four echoing walls deadened his cars, and he was aware of nothing but a voice beside him that said quietly: "Well done, bahadur! Thou art thy father's son!" He dropped his rifle butt to the floor, and some one struck a light.
