One could wish that our Mr James had shown his affection in any other way than by sending us another Granthi regiment, but it was impossible to refuse it. It's one comfort that with your fellows we are more than a match for them now if they turn rusty, and by posting them on the right we can get them in flank with our whole line.
"If I should place my son and my kingdom under the protection of the English, what would happen in Agpur?" he asked at last. "Your Highness knows whether the army is to be trusted. There would be intense indignation on the part both of the Granthi and the Moslem notables, I presume? Whether they would proceed to active opposition " "If they saw a hope of success they would.
The Governor-General was coming to the Granthi capital to take counsel with the Commander-in-Chief as to the further course of the war, which had not hitherto been conducted with conspicuous success, and the honours for the Agpur campaign were to be conferred.
"Do the orders of the Presence for the early start hold good?" asked the Granthi officer significantly. "Why not? What in the world is that noise?" "It is the wailing of the women in the Rajah's camp, sahib. His Highness was found dead by his attendants in the night." "What! murdered?" "They say there are no marks of violence, sahib.
If we try and fail, it means ruin, utter and complete, for both of us." "And if we try and succeed, it will save England and India a second Granthi War." "Right, Bob; I'll do it. Give us your fist, old boy." Charteris drew a long breath as they shook hands. "I don't mind telling you that if you wouldn't come in, I had made up my mind to try it by myself," he said.
He took up his position behind Charteris in the centre, Warner and General Desdichado commanding the nearer troops on either hand, while Gerrard with the guns, and Bishen Ram with the two Granthi regiments, occupied the extreme left and right respectively, the whole position being roughly crescent-shaped.
The enemy were not suffering as they should, beneath the fire of his guns on the one hand and the musketry of the two Granthi regiments on the other. A sudden suspicion seized him, and he looked across through the smoke at the opposite horn of the crescent. But no; it was dotted with white puffs.
"Then until we start the way will be open for you to return to Darwan with your own troops if you desire it. After that, if you still insist on accompanying me to the city by the Guru, you shall see more of it than you care for!" Gerrard beckoned to his Granthi orderly, who came up quickly.
Presently Badan Hazari came very quietly, and peered round a trunk to see whether his commander was awake. Gerrard called to him. "Heaven-born!" said the Granthi, saluting. "I have ventured to disturb the repose of your honour at the request of Komadan Rukn-ud-din." Gerrard started. "Bring him here," he said. "What is it?"
"But if we had been able to stamp out Sher Singh's rebellion as we could have done if they had supported us properly it would have saved this second Granthi War, Bob." "That's just it.
