We are not little men, and there is nothing that we are afraid of except Drink, and we have signed a Contrack on that. Therefore, we are going away to be Kings. Kings in our own right, muttered Dravot. Yes, of course, I said. Youve been tramping in the sun, and its a very warm night, and hadnt you better sleep over the notion? Come to-morrow. They call it Kafiristan.
"'For Gord's sake leave the women alone! I says. 'We've both got all the work we can, though I am a fool. Remember the Contrack, and keep clear o' women. "'The Contrack only lasted till such time as we was Kings; and Kings we have been these months past, says Dravot, weighing his crown in his hand.
"There was no need for the last article," said Carnehan, blushing modestly; "but it looks regular. Now you know the sort of men that loafers are we are loafers, Dan, until we get out of India and do you think that we would sign a Contrack like that unless we was in earnest? We have kept away from the two things that make life worth having."
Half an hours talk with you cool and comfortable, in the office, said the red-bearded man. Wed like some drink the Contrack doesnt begin yet, Peachey, so you neednt look but what we really want is advice. We dont want money. We ask you as a favor, because you did us a bad turn about Degumber.
"It doesn't seem right that my husband should forfeit ten dollars and lose the cow." "That was the contrack, Mrs. Walton. Your husband 'greed to it, and " "That doesn't make it just." "Tain't no more'n a fair price for the use of the cow six months. Ef you'll pay the ten dollars to-morrow, I'll let you have the cow six months longer on the same contrack."

"Would two lunatics make a Contrack like that?" said Carnehan, with subdued pride, showing me a greasy half-sheet of notepaper on which was written the following. I copied it, then and there, as a curiosity This Contract between me and you persuing witnesseth in the name of God Amen and so forth. Signed by you and me this day. Peachey Taliaferro Carnehan. Daniel Dravot. Both Gentlemen at Large.
"Money isn't very plenty with any of them, Squire, except with you." "I calc'late better than they. Hev you got the ten dollars that you agreed to pay ef you couldn't meet the note?" "Yes," said Hiram, "I raised the ten dollars." "All right," said the squire, briskly, "I thought you could. As long as you pay that, you can keep the cow six months more, one a new contrack."
They call it Kafiristan. By my reckoning it's the top right-hand corner of Afghanistan, not more than three hundred miles from Peshawar. They have two and thirty heathen idols there, and we'll be the thirty-third and fourth. It's a mountaineous country, the women of those parts are very beautiful." "But that is provided against in the Contrack," said Carnehan. "Neither Women nor Liqu-or, Daniel."
