Carlin's afterglow, it was to Skag, from their moment at the edge of the jungle on the evening of the troth; there was pain about it now. India had a different look to him alien, sinister, of a depth of suffering undreamed of, because of the beating bass of the Kabuli tale, intensified by the sense that falling night would slacken the chase. . . .
Give me permission and I will call him." Skag looked into Bhanah's eyes, finding the ancient friendship there; then he said only one word: "Hurry!" Bhanah leaped away across the lawn and Skag turned to stand by Carlin's side. The silence seemed absolute now; the whiteness absolute. He remembered that she had gone down into shadows. He bent his head toward her breast and looked down.
The words came in a slow ordered tone: "I was waiting for you there back at the edge of the jungle but it came to me that I was not ready." Carlin had been looking away into the three-lanes. Her eyes came up to his. "Not ready?" she said. "All night I could only remember one thing " "What thing?" "That you had not told me you would come again." Carlin's shoulders lifted a little.
Had Felix continued his visits to Stephen Carlin's shop, he might have escaped many sleepless hours and saved himself many weary steps. Fate had doubtless dealt him one of those unlucky cards which we so often find in our hands when the game of life is being played.
The untellable thing for Skag alone lingered in Carlin's eyes, in the pallor of her face. She was the one who spoke: "It is terrible terribly dear, like a blending of two souls in a white heat together those moments at the play-house and now as you held Kala Khan " "It was not one alone," he answered strangely. "Something from you was with me half, with mine." Neela Deo, King of All Elephants
". . . Because we are descended from two extraordinary romances, both of which were celebrated by the marriage of an imperial Indian woman one Brahmin, one Rajput with a British man of noble family one Scotch, one Irish. Carlin will tell you the stories; she loves them." Again the smile like Carlin's.
It comes to us sometimes of itself, but more often after a shock. . . . Carlin's night in the dark " Skag's arm lifted in a curve to cover his face as if from a blow. . . . Yet Margaret Annesley was not quite right; for he had learned to hear what Carlin heard: From far away very faint, curiously thin tones came to him; always repeating one word, with an upward inflection, like a question.
His lakri touched the hood. With all his strength, though with a loose whipping wrist, he had struck. The lakri had touched the hood, but there was no violence to the impact. . . . Carlin's love tones were in his heart. Skag laughed. The head went out of sight. Skag struck again. It was as if his lakri were caught in a swift hand and held for just the fraction of a second.
Before they had quite reached us, however, our telling fire made them recoil, and as they fell back, I directed an advance of my whole division, bringing up my reserve regiments to occupy the crest of the hills; Colonel William P. Carlin's brigade of Mitchell's division meanwhile moving forward on my right to cover that flank.
He was a douce, quiet man, as all the country knew, and here he was like old Nick at the carlin's dance, hobbling around and waving his drink above his head. We both set off running, and he waved the more when he saw us coming. "Peace!" he roared. "Huzza, boys! Peace!"
