He spoke, "Chunda Lal!"
"Ssh!" he whispered. "Do not move, but look ... at the top of the stair!" Stuart turned his eyes. On the platform at the head of the stairs a Hindu was standing! "Chunda Lal!" whispered Max. "Prepare for anything!" "Chunda Lal descended slowly. Ah-Fang-Fu continued to play Patience. The Hindu stood behind him and began to speak in a voice of subdued fervour and with soft Hindu modulations.

Chunda Lal's hand dropped limply to his sides. "Ah! I cannot understand, Miska. If we are not sure then, are we sure now? It may be" he bent towards her "we are trapped!" "Oh, what do you mean?"
Chunda Lal, swollen veins standing out cord-like on his brow, his gaze set hypnotically upon the moving hand, dropped his knife and began to move in obedience to the will of Fo-Hi.

Fo-Hi by an imperious gesture commanded Chunda Lal to kneel and bow his head.
You come also!" "And if he escape, and know that I was false to him, he will call me back, and I shall be dragged to those yellow eyes, though I am a thousand miles away! Inshalla! those eyes!

"Chunda Sahib and Muzaffar Jung put their heads together, and agreed to act in concert.
Then, when the allies attacked, he defended the city for fifty-two days, at the end of which one of the gates of the town had been captured, and the city was virtually at the mercy of the besiegers. He again delayed them by entering into negotiations for surrender. In vain Dupleix continued to urge Chunda Sahib to act energetically, and to enter Tanjore.
I know not by what trick he hoped to 'deal with' Chunda Lal. But, as I informed you, Chunda Lal was forewarned." The sound of blows continued, followed by that of another, louder groan. "Stop him! Stop him!" shrieked Miska. "You 'care nothing' for this man. Why do you tremble?" "Oh!" she wailed piteously. "I cannot bear it ... oh, I cannot bear it! Do what you like with me, but spare him.
