They was fair men fairer than you or me with yellow hair and remarkable well built. Says Dravot, unpacking the guns 'This is the beginning of the business. We'll fight for the ten men, and with that he fires two rifles at the twenty men, and drops one of them at two hundred yards from the rock where he was sitting.

Twelve English, a hundred thousand Sniders run through the Amir's country in driblets, I'd be content with twenty thousand in one year, and we'd be an Empire. When everything was shipshape I'd hand over the crown this crown I'm wearing now to Queen Victoria on my knees, and she'd say, "Rise up, Sir Daniel Dravot." Oh, it's big! It's big, I tell you!

The minute Dravot puts on the Master’s apron that the girls had made for him, the priest fetches a whoop and a howl, and tries to overturn the stone that Dravot was sitting on. ‘It’s all up now,’ I says. ‘That comes of meddling with the Craft without warrantDravot never winked an eye, not when ten priests took and tilted over the Grand-Master’s chair which was to say the stone of Imbra.

'Luck again, says Dravot, across the Lodge to me, 'they say it's the missing Mark that no one could understand the why of.

"Fifteen hundred rupees of capital every rupee we could beg, borrow, or steal are invested on these two camels," said Dravot. "We won't get caught. We're going through the Khaiber with a regular caravan. Who'd touch a poor mad priest?" "Have you got everything you want?" I asked, overcome with astonishment. "Not yet, but we shall soon. Give us a memento of your kindness, Brother.

For each dead man Dravot pours a little milk on the ground and waves his arms like a whirligig and 'That's all right, says he. Then he and Carnehan takes the big boss of each village by the arm and walks them down into the valley, and shows them how to scratch a line with a spear right down the valley, and gives each a sod of turf from both sides of the line.

Then we asks the names of things in their lingo bread and water and fire and idols and such; and Dravot leads the priest of each village up to the idol, and says he must sit there and judge the people, and if anything goes wrong he is to be shot.

The other men began to run, but Carnehan and Dravot sits on the boxes picking them off at all ranges, up and down the valley. Then we goes up to the ten men that had run across the snow too, and they fires a footy little arrow at us. Dravot he shoots above their heads, and they all falls down flat.

Who stopped the last Afghan raid? It was me really, but Dravot was too angry to remember. 'Who bought your guns? Who repaired the bridges? Who's the Grand Master of the sign cut in the stone? says he, and he thumped his hand on the block that he used to sit on in Lodge, and at Council, which opened like Lodge always. Billy Fish said nothing, and no more did the others.

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. "You've been tramping in the sun, and it's a very warm night, and hadn't you better sleep over the notion? Come to-morrow." "Neither drunk nor sunstruck," said Dravot.
