They will have harder work next time, but I have no shadow of fear of the result." Then their talk went back to Deennugghur and of their friends there the Doolans, the Hunters, the Rintouls, and others and Isobel wept freely over their fate. "Next to my uncle I shall miss the Doctor," she said.
I shall be very much more comfortable and happy at home by myself." The Hunters had by this time returned to Deennugghur, and the Major drove over to Bithoor accompanied only by Dr. Wade. He was rather surprised when the Doctor said he would go, as it was very seldom that he went out to such entertainments.
There is little difficulty in persuading women as to the merits of a man they like, and Bathurst had, since the troubles began, been much more appreciated than before by the ladies of Deennugghur.
That is the hardest part of it to him, I can see." Three days later the force at Deennugghur was increased by the arrival of a troop of native cavalry, under a Captain Forster, who had just returned from leave in England. "Do you know Captain Forster, Doctor?" Isobel Hannay asked, on the afternoon of his arrival. "Uncle tells me he is coming to dinner."
"By the way, Rujub, I have not asked you how you got on with the Nana." "It was easy enough," the juggler said. "He had lost all interest in the affairs of Deennugghur, and greeted me at first as if I had just returned from a journey. Then he remembered and asked me suddenly why I had disobeyed his orders and given my voice for terms being granted to the Feringhees.
There is more jungle and better shooting round Deennugghur than there is here, and you know the Doctor is an enthusiast that way. Of course, the Colonel agreed at once." "I am very glad of that, uncle; it won't seem like going to a strange place if we have him with us, and the Hunters there, and I suppose three or four officers of the regiment. Who are going?"
Schools are being established, but at present these are but a drop in the ocean. Still, the work does go on, and in time something will be done. It is of no use bothering yourself about it, Isobel; it is best to take matters as you find them." Isobel made no answer, but she was much disappointed when Dr. Wade, dropping in to tiffin, said his guest had started two hours before for Deennugghur.
I saw him run one sowar through and shoot another. I am not surprised at his fighting so well after what you have gone through in Deennugghur and in that Cawnpore business." The Doctor then went up to see Isobel. She looked flushed and excited. "Is it true, Doctor, that Mr. Bathurst went out with the volunteers, and that he is wounded?" "Both items are true, my dear.
But what is my lord's name? Will he tell his servant, that he and Rabda may think of him and talk of him as they tramp the roads together?" "My name is Ralph Bathurst. I am District Officer at Deennugghur. How far are you going this evening?"
I have seemed to hear voices speaking to me, though no one was there, and no one else heard them; and I am not sure whether all this is not fancy now." "It is reality, Miss Hannay. Take my hand and you will see that it is solid. The voices you heard were similar to those I heard at Deennugghur; they were messages I sent you by means of Rujub and his daughter."
