The apes had their curry, chutney, pine-apple, eggs, and bananas on porcelain plates, and so had I. The chief difference was that, whereas I waited to be helped, the big ape was impolite enough occasionally to snatch something from a dish as the butler passed round the table, and that the small one before very long migrated from his chair to the table, and, sitting by my plate, helped himself daintily from it.
"This is a terrible thing," said Melton, "and there is something back of it all. I can't understand it. Can it be possible the wretches have designs on Zaila, I wonder? It's a pity you interfered with that leopard, Chutney. If Makar Makalo had perished, this revolt might never have broken out. Makar is at the head of it, I know, and possibly he has influence behind him.
"The most merciful thing we could do would be to cast our provisions into the lake," he said finally. "It would cut short the agony of waiting, but I don't suppose you would look at it in that way." "No, no; don't do that," cried Chutney. "Who knows what may happen yet?" "Ah! there you are again," said the colonel; "still clinging to hope of life; still unable to realize the truth.
"My brave fellow," said Chutney, in a husky voice, kneeling down and clasping Melton's hand, "I refuse to accept your sacrifice. I shall remain here with you and we will meet our fate together. Canaris, save yourself while there is yet time. I will not desert my friend." The Greek paused irresolutely. The convulsive workings of his face showed the struggle going on in his mind.
The raft struck the edge of the rocks, and as it swung round with the current they grasped the end of the canoe and pulled it on board. "It will do for firewood," said Guy. "We won't have to travel in the dark any more." "Yes, yes; build a fire," said Sir Arthur feebly, sitting up among the rugs. "I'm cold, Chutney; icy cold. Have we come to the end of the cavern yet?"
Presently Sam appeared, and Hayward gave orders concerning luncheon. "Tell Miss Louisa we are to have it served here," said he, "and mind, Sam, the chops are to be thick and cooked the way we like them; and don't forget the East India chutney, Sam." "It does seem rather a pity that you cannot have chutney at home with your chops, when you are so fond of it," remarked Hayward when Sam had gone.
'I certainly brought back none, said the Parnass, smiling in spite of himself. 'You have been in India? 'I have, replied the Parnass, with a happy inspiration, 'and I brought back to my wife something more stimulating than chutney. 'Indeed? 'Yes, the story of the Beni-Israel, the black Jews, who, surrounded by all those millions of Hindoos, still keep their Sabbath. 'Ah, poor niggers.
Powell sent on board chutney prepared "as we prepare it in India." Fish, and game were plentiful here, and the voice of the gobbler was heard, and from Pardo, farther up the country, came an enormous cheese; and yet people inquire: "What did you live on? What did you eat?"
"You came as near to death, Chutney, as any man can come," said the colonel a little later, when Guy was able to sit up and lean against the fragments of the canoe. "Forbes saved you on this occasion. He got awake just in time, and crawling over the logs for he was unable to walk he brought down the butt of the revolver on the fiend's head. He first tried to shoot, but his weapon missed fire."
Why olives, when if need be and the need has not yet manifested itself as shrewd a relish and as cleansing a flavour is to be obtained from the pale yellow flowers of the male papaw, steeped in brine a decoration and a zest combined? Our mango chutney etherealises our occasional salted goat-mutton and we know that the chutney is what it professes to be.
