One of the most curious and picturesque of all the temples is that of the goddess Durga, a fine building usually called the Monkey Temple because of the number of those animals inhabiting the trees around it. They are very tame and cunning and can spot a tourist as far as they can see him.
"And Kathlyn gave the treasures to the poor of Allaha? That was fine." "You have said." "They should have hanged this Umballa." "No, Sahib. Death is grateful. It is not a punishment; it is peace. But Durga Ram, called Umballa, will spend the remainder of his days in the treadmill, which is a concrete hell, not abstract." "Do you think England will ever step in?" "Perhaps.
"No, Mem-sahib. Ahmed will have me carried to within a few yards of the gate, and after that it will be easy to find Durga Ram. Ah, Mem-sahib, if you but knew how I hate him!" After Pundita had departed Ahmed brought in the leopard. Kathlyn petted it and crooned, and the magic timbre of her tones won over the spotted cat. He purred. And now they must wait. An hour flew past.
But these shameless ones still beat me, saying: 'O Ram Dass, this is your interest well weighed and counted into your hand, Ram Dass. I cried aloud that I was not Ram Dass but Durga Dass, his brother, yet they only beat me the more, and when I could make no more outcry they left me. But I saw their faces.
Here lay their way to freedom without calling upon Bala Khan for aid. The matter, however, had to be submitted to the priests, and those wily men in yellow robes agreed. They could very well promise Durga Ram his freedom again, pursue these treasure seekers and destroy them; that would be Durga Ram's ransom.
So, finding no hope in them, he ran to his elephant, mounted and rode back into town. Durga Ram would pay well for this news. "Father," said Kathlyn reproachfully, "that mahout recognized you. I warned you not to move the curtain." Bruce shrugged. "But, Kit," returned her father, "Ahmed was so infernally slow! He could spend time in chattering to the guards." Ahmed heard, but said nothing.
At the head of the Gully is a big cow-byre, and the walls on either side of the Gully are without windows. Neither Suchet Singh nor Gaur Chand approve of their womenfolk looking into the world. If Durga Charan had been of their opinion, he would have been a happier man to-day, and little Bisesa would have been able to knead her own bread.
Shall it fly to Benares, this news that Allaha permits itself to be ruled and bullied by a common murderer; a man without family, a liar and a cheat? Durga Ram, who slew the king; you turned upon the hand that had fed and clothed you and raised you to power. . . . Wait! Let this woman speak!"
There was a shrine topped by an idol in black marble, incrusted with sapphires and turquoises. Durga Ram, who shall be called Umballa, nodded slightly as he passed it. Force of habit, since in his heart there was only one religion self. He stopped at a door guarded by a single soldier, who saluted but spat as soon as Umballa had passed into the throne room. The throne itself was vacant.
There were many witnesses, and twice Ram Dass became senseless in the Court because of his wounds, and the Stunt Sahib the baba Stunt Sahib gave him a chair before all the pleaders. Why do you howl, Durga Dass? These things fell as I have said. Was it not so? And Jowar Singh said: 'That is truth. I was there, and there was a red cushion in the chair.
