The British artillerymen ran out, and seized the guns, and opened with them upon the retiring infantry. Clive now formed up his troops in line, and advanced against the enemy's cavalry, behind which their infantry had massed for shelter. Manak Chand ordered his cavalry to charge, but just as he did so, a cannonball from one of Clive's field pieces passed close to his head.
"An' that must have been true what-ever" said McGregor, unable to restrain a comment at this point. "What you remark is true likewise, Shames," said the skipper. "Go on quick!" cried Junkie, eagerly. "Well, our Director gave orders, to take Raj Mungul to the south side of the clump of trees, Isri Pershad to the west, and Chand Moorut to the east.
"Bama Charn Dobé Goes to bed early, And when the thief comes he runs away." Another "Ram Sing Paré With a stick marches boldly, But at sight of a thief he flies to the tank." A third "Lal Chand Sing Doth briskly dance and sing, Is death on the food, But at work is no good." The boys fled, attacked by the durwans with a shower of words not to be found in any dictionary.
Neither Suchet Singh nor Gaur Chand approved of their women-folk looking into the world.

Fifty yards were passed before his mahowt, with voice, limb, and prod managed to reduce the well-trained warrior to obedience.
Manik Chand was so much alarmed by seeing the effect of the big guns of the fleet that he abandoned the place almost without striking a blow, and when the British troops entered they were too late even to make any prisoners save a few of the ragtag and bobtail in the rear. Mr. Merriman returned to Calcutta a few days later. Desmond was grieved to observe how rapidly he was aging.
Any one viewing our present situation impartially would say we were more likely to be taken alive ourselves and in that case I fear we shouldn't long remain so." "We can't very well stay as we are," said Gerrard drily. "True, O most sapient Hal, and we can hardly expect Chand Singh to attack us unprovoked.
This answer touched the demon Nanak Chand, and he gave the faithful Prince a box of powdered antimony, and bade him travel on through Demonsland till he came to the house of the great demon Safed. 'For, said he, 'Safed is my eldest brother, and if anybody can do what you want, he will.
