Staring wide-eyed at the horror the way a barbarian elephant kills the Gul Moti was glad Skag did not see! . . . The mahout had managed to reach a tree in time to save his own life and was crouching on a branch, with his head buried in his arms. Nut Kut was finishing with the leader of the wild herd more mercifully than the wild was of doing it when two of the extras charged him together.
"I'd say yes in a minute if I'd not have to take a hand in thet job," replied Pearce, with a hard laugh. "Gulden won't be so easy to kill. He'll pack a gunful of lead. I'll gamble if the gang of us cornered him in this cabin he'd do for most of us before we killed him." "Gul sleep alone, no one knows where," said Handy Oliver. "An' he can't be surprised. Red's correct.
"You neva said so," Mr. Lander opened his mouth almost for the first time, since the talk began. "I didn't suppose you'd like it," said his wife. "Well, she a'n't a baby. I guess you'd find you had your hands full, takon' a half-grown gul like that to bring up." "I shouldn't be afraid any," the wife declared. "She has just twined herself round my heat. I can't get her pretty looks out of my eyes.
She remembered their tonnage; and recalled having heard that an elephant fight is not the sort of thing civilised men call sport. . . . A soft, feeling thing crept from the Gul Moti's shoulder along down her back! With convulsive fingers she clung tighter to Mitha Baba's neck. Instantly Mitha Baba turned a bit, driving sidewise at the stranger with her head.
Most conspicuous this: Gul. Cookeson E. Coll. Omn. Anim. 1725. Oxon. O William Cookeson, of All-Souls College, Oxford, then writing as I now write, now in the dust, where I shall lie, is this line all that remains to thee of earthly remembrance? Thy name is at least once more spoken by living men; is it a pleasure to thee?
Then he turned to the people, and told them the whole story of the rose and the cypress, of King Sinaubar and Queen Gul. When he came to the killing of the negroes, he said to the one who stood before them: 'You, too, were present. 'That is so; all happened as you have told it!
Neela Deo had gone out to find the Gul Moti, carrying the Chief Commissioner and Son of Power. No one had come back. Calamity must have fallen. Men went out on horses to trace them. But it was certain priests of Hanuman who found the caravan first. They overheard talk of strange happenings; but more about Neela Deo's undreamed-of achievement.
My heart is a little angry, Friend of all the World, that thou shouldst see such worth in a man so little known. 'It is true, Hajji; but that worth do I see, and to him my heart is drawn. 'And his to thine, I hear. Hearts are like horses. They come and they go against bit or spur. Shout Gul Sher Khan yonder to drive in that bay stallion's pickets more firmly.
The king-lion came out to meet him; he took the negro chief's daughter -whose name was also Gul in lawful marriage, and then marched with her and her possessions and her attendants to the Place of Gifts. Here they halted for a night, and at dawn said good-bye to the king-lion and set out for Jamila's country.
One says, it is like a hive covered by a swarm of burning bees; others, that it is the enchanted palace in the gardens of Gul in the depths of the Arabian nights, like a gigantic tiara set with wonderful diamonds, larger than those which Sinbad found in the roc's valley, like the palace of the fairies in the dreams of childhood, like the stately pleasure-dome of Kubla Khan in Xanadu, and twenty other whimsical things.
