Think no one fin' he house " "Sam!" Val rounded upon him. "Do you know where Jeems lives?" "Yessuh." He twisted the one shoulder-strap of his overalls and Val guessed that his knowledge was something he was either ashamed of or afraid to tell. "Can you take me there?" He shook his head. "Ah ain' a-goin' in dere, Ah ain'!" "But, Sam, you've got to! Miss 'Chanda is in there. She may be lost.
What was it you wanted her for?" "Dese heah cu'ta'ns, Mistuh Val" she thrust a mound of snowy and beruffled white stuff at him "dey has got to be hung. An' does Miss 'Chanda wan' dem in her room or does she not?" "Better put them up. I'll tell her about it. Here wait, let me open that door." Val looked into Ricky's room.
He remained at Cawnpore till the 4th of February, when the first portion of his army crossed the Ganges, on their road to Lucknow. While marching on Lucknow, Brigadier Franks, on the 19th, successively defeated two bodies of the enemy at Chanda and Amerapore; and, on the 23rd, gained a still more important victory over their united forces near Sultanpore.
Letty-Lou looked at the floor and twisted her thin hands behind her back. "But," protested Ricky, "we're not planning to have anyone do for us, Lucy." "Dat's all right, Miss 'Chanda. Yo'all's not gittin' a know-nothin'. Letty-Lou, she knows her work. She kin cook right good." "We can't take her," Val backed up Ricky. "You must understand, Lucy, that we don't have much money and we can't pay for "

Lucy touched Ricky's hand and then, for all her weight, bobbed a curtsy. "Dat's all right, Miss 'Chanda, yo' is ouah folks." Letty-Lou stayed. Val braced himself against the back of the roadster's seat and struggled to hold the car to a road which was hardly more than a cart track.
Ricky," he called her attention to the smiling face just outside the door, "this is Sam. He runs the home farm for us. And his wife is a descendant of the Ralestone house folks." "Yassuh, dat's right. We's Ralestone folks, Miss 'Chanda. Mah Lucy done sen' me ovah to fin' out what yo'all is a-needin' done 'bout de place.

We took them back to India with us the following spring, keeping Lobo as our servant during the time of our stay there. We had a calm and pleasant voyage of three days to Maskat with Captain Whitehead on the B.I.S.N. steamer Chanda, arriving just in time to escape a violent storm, which lasted for days, and in its commencement prevented our landing at the usual place.

Ricky's wardrobe was not so extensive that he did not know every dress and article in it very well.
"So that's why everything was so clean! That was nice of her " "Yo'all is Ralestones, Miss 'Chanda. An' Lucy say dat de Ralestones am a-goin' to fin' dis place jest ready for dem when dey come." He beamed upon them proudly. "Lucy, she am a-goin' be heah jest as soon as she gits de chillens set for de day.
