From windows, and roofs that overhung the street, people threw flowers at Bimbu, Pinga and Umra, because all Hindustan knows there is merit in treating beggars as if they were noblemen; and Bimbu wove himself a garland out of the buds to wear on his turban, which made him look more bacchanalian than ever.
"Bimbu, Umra and Pinga might be put to work," said Tess. "As for mirth, they laugh at such unseemly things. They could be taught what proper humor is." "Have they not worked?" Yasmini asked. "Has one man got into your house, without you, or the guard set to watch you, knowing it? Could any one have done it better? Did it not have to be done? As for humor have they not enjoyed the task?
But Utirupa not only had two magnificent ceremonies to unite in one, but Yasmini to supply the genius. Once or twice Tess remonstrated, but Yasmini turned a scornfully deaf ear. "What would you have us do instead? Invest all the money at eight per cent., so that the rich traders may have more capital, and found an asylum where Bimbu, Umra and Pinga may live in idleness and be rebuked for mirth?"
Bimbu on the camel had led the dog by the short route and, having nothing to be robbed of, had had small trouble with policemen on the way.
He ran to fetch it, the dog followed him, eager to get into the house. He offered the hat to the dog, who sniffed it and yelped eagerly. "Bang goes fifty dollars, then!" he laughed. He took the hat to Bimbu. "Can you ride a camel?" he demanded. The man nodded. "Another would drive it." "Do you know where to get one?" Bimbu nodded again.
Then the three beggars came, and watched Dick's efforts with the interest of spectators at a play. "Messenge!" said Bimbu finally, nodding at the dog. That much was pretty obvious. "Princess!" he added, seeing Dick was still puzzled. It flashed across Dick's mind that on the dresser in the bedroom was Tess's hat that Yasmini had worn. Doubtless to a dog's keen nose it smelt of both of them.
They're crazy to learn American from me, and to hear your cowpuncher talk. We're social lions. I think they like us as much as we like them. Don't make that face, Dick, one maverick isn't a whole herd, and you can't afford to quarrel with the commissioner." He chose to change the subject. "What are your bums' names?" he asked. "Funny names. Bimbu, Umra and Pinga.
But I will give them back the gladness, if I can, that has been squeezed out by too many 'institutions! " "You would rather see Bimbu, Umra and Pinga happy, than prosperous and well-clothed?" "Which would you rather?" Yasmini asked her. "You shall see them well clothed in a little while. Just wait." There were almost endless altercations with the priests.
Now you can see them, look, the shadow's gone. Bimbu is the one with no front teeth, Umra has only one eye, and Pinga winks automatically. Wait till you see Pinga smile. It's diagonal instead of horizontal. Must have hurt his mouth in an accident." "Probably he and Bimbu fought and found the biting tough. Speaking of dogs, strikes me we ought to keep a good big fierce one," be added suggestively.
What a royal jest, though, to marry Samson and intrigue with all the jealous English wives who think they pull the strings of government!" "You'd get the worst of it," laughed Tess. "Maybe. I shall never try it. I am more of the East than the West. But I will answer Samson. Bimbu shall remain here lest he talk too much, but the dog shall take a letter to Tom Tripe at dawn.
