He moved a brass switch and a trap opened in the floor behind Chunda Lal. Fo-Hi raised his right hand, having the fingers tightly closed as if grasping the hilt of a knife. With his left hand he pointed to the trap. Again he spoke. "Tum samauhe ho?" As Fo-Hi raised his clenched right hand, so did Chunda Lal raise the kukri.
Kneeling, his right knee thrust between the shoulder blades of the prostrate man, the Hindu looked up and I read murder in those glaring eyes. That he was an accomplished wrestler or perhaps a strangler I divined from the helplessness of the Grand Duke, who lay inert, robbed of every power except that of his tongue. He was swearing savagely. "Chunda Lal!" said Zara el-Khala again.
She began to move aimlessly about the room, glancing at the many strange objects on the big table and fearfully at the canopied chair beside which hung the bronze bell. Finally: "Oh, Chunda Lal! Chunda Lal!" she moaned, and threw herself face downward on the diwan, sobbing wildly.
Suppose he has written that it is here people meet together?" "Makee chit tell my name? Muchee hard luck! Number one police chop." "You say Fo-Hi not buying you bread and cheese. Perhaps it is Fo-Hi that save you from hanging!" Ah-Fang-Fu hugged himself. "Yak pozee!" Chunda Lal raised his finger. "Be very careful, Ah-Fang-Fu!" "Allee time velly careful."
"I will open the door," he said smoothly, "that we may more fully enjoy the protests of one for whom you 'care nothing' of one whose lips have pressed your hand." He opened the door by which Chunda Lal had gone out and turned again to Miska. Her eyes looked unnaturally dark by contrast with the pallor of her face. Chunda Lal had betrayed her. She no longer doubted it.

As the door closed upon Chunda Lal, Miska stepped back from it and stood, unconsciously, in a curiously rigid and statuesque attitude, her arms pressed to her sides and her hands directed outward.
The nawab was killed, and one of his sons, Maphuz Khan, taken prisoner. The other, Muhammud Ali, bolted at the beginning of the fight. Arcot, the capital of the Carnatic, surrendered next day. "Muzaffar Jung proclaimed himself Subadar of the Deccan, and appointed Chunda Sahib Nawab of the Carnatic.
Miska leapt to her feet, as Chunda Lal, never once glancing at her, went out bearing the rods, and closed the door behind him. Fo-Hi turned and confronted her. "Shall I speak to you in the soft Arab tongue? Come to me, lovely Miska. Let me feel how that sorrowful heart will leap like a captive gazelle." But Miska shrank back from him, pale to the lips. "Very well."
Chunda Lal was talking to the man in charge; he had not yet left his seat. But the car was empty! At first I was stupid with astonishment. Par la barbe du prophete! I was astounded. Then I saw that I had really made a great discovery.
The Mahrattas are native Indians of a very numerous and powerful nation, which hath more than once given law to the mogul. Chunda Saib, in attempting to fly, was taken prisoner by the nabob of Tanjore, an ally of the English company, who ordered his head to be struck off, in order to prevent the disputes which otherwise would have arisen among the captors. *
