Lethabie Groombride, who had formed a Committee, and was disseminating literature: The Province groaned; the Inspector now an Inspector of Inspectors whistled. He had forgotten the gentleman who sputtered in people's faces. "He shouldn't have looked so like Beagle-boy!" was his sole defence when he met the Governor at breakfast on the steamer after a meet.
What d'you call this flat-sided, blue-mottled beast with the jowl?" "Beagle-boy. I have my doubts about him. Do you think we can get two days a week?" "Easy; and as many byes as you please. The Sheikh of this village here tells me that his barley has failed, and he wants a fifty per cent remission." "We'll begin with him to-morrow, and look at his crops as we go.
Above all, who remembers the death of Royal, when a certain Sheikh wept above the body of the stainless hound as it might have been his son's and that day the Hunt rode no more? They are beginning to listen to beagle-boy." The Inspector attended to the matter when his leave fell due.
I say, what a babbling body-snatcher that Beagle-boy is! Ought to be drowned!" "They bury people so damn casual hereabouts. Give him another chance," the Inspector pleaded, not knowing that he should live to repent most bitterly. "Talkin' of chances," said the Governor, "this Sheikh lies about his barley bein' a failure. If it's high enough to hide a hound at this time of year, it's all right.
"Wait a moment," said a large, clean-shaven man not an M.F.H. at the end of the table. "Are your villagers habitually beaten by your Governor when they fail to stop foxes' holes?" The tone and the phrase were enough even if, as the Inspector confessed afterwards, the big, blue double-chinned man had not looked so like Beagle-boy. He took him on for the honour of Ethiopia.
