Coming up the street toward them was a horde of silent, hurrying Hindus, armed with swords and spears, wearing all of them the caste-marks of the Brahman well-fed, indignant relations of the priests, intent on avenging the defilement of Kharvani's temple. "Canter! Fronnnt farm Gallop! Charge!"
"Yes," Baptiste declared; "it is said she dances wonderfully." "You name her the Gulab Begum, General, that is a Moslem title and, from the turbans and caste-marks on the men, they seem to be Hindus; I suppose Gulab Begum is her stage name, is it?"
We saw the swarming life of the bazaar, the white turbans coming and going, diversified by the rose and yellow Hindu turbans, and the caste-marks, orange and red, on the dark brows. I saw two women girls painted and tired like Jezebel, looking out of one window carved and old, and the grey burnished doves flying about it.
As we stroll back to our places we pass various men with marks on their foreheads; these are caste-marks and to those who understand they tell a great deal. Standing beside the second classes we see a short-sighted gentleman in glasses, wearing an alpaca suit; he has with him a lady, who, like himself, is coffee-coloured.
