Mitha Baba rolled across the Nerbudda valley, as confident of her way as if she travelled the great Highway-of-all-India. She began to climb into the rising country beyond, as certain of her steps as if she were coming in to her own stockades. The Gul Moti took up her call again thinking of the caravan they were following. But Mitha Baba was not thinking of the caravan.
The other elephants had now burst out in line through the scrub. Their mahouts shouted enquiries to Gul Dad and when they heard of the tiger's death cheered gleefully, for it meant backsheesh to them. Badshah was seen to be searching for a way down into the nullah and in a few minutes brought his passengers up alongside Miss Benson and the subaltern.
He asked where his fault lay, and said that every night my wife took one or other of these horses and rode away, and came back only just before dawn. A flame kindled in my heart, and I asked myself where she could go and what she could do. I told the groom to be silent, and when next Gul took a horse from the stable to saddle another quickly and bring it to me.
Mitha Baba, having come in closer than any of the other females, did not move, save for a constant turning of her head under the Gul Moti's icy fingers seeming to keep an eye on all the separate fights at once. Her fear for the caravan elephants was anguish, her fatigue extreme; but excitement held the Gul Moti in a vise. She saw the fighters meet, skull to skull.
He stood by the table a moment, giving a thought to the many times his Gul Bahar had kept watch on the stars for him. They would come and go regularly as of old, but she?
Mitha Baba, without breaking her step, backed away from between them; and the impact of frightful blow meeting frightful blow, bruised through the outbreak of much trumpeting. As Mitha Baba went further and further from the fighters, the Gul Moti was amazed at the sounds of their meeting like explosions.
The extra males of the wild herd every one formidable were skirmishing about, watching for a chance to interfere. It looked bad for the caravan. The mahouts the Gul Moti had scarcely remembered them till now were calling back and forth about a bad one, a "tricky elephant." Following their gestures, she saw a pale shape moving around in the open.
Her face was actually strange the awful pallor the fire. It left his brain a blank to other impressions, for minutes. The Gul Moti only glimpsed the stone-white face of her American, beside the Chief Commissioner, as Neela Deo charged past, on his way to take over the fight that was taxing Gunpat Rao to the last breath before defeat. Neela Deo had seen at once where he was needed most.
He opposed himself on all sides against his rebellious subjects, and against foreign invaders; and by his valour and conduct prevailed in every action. He obliged the French king to grant him peace on reasonable terms; he expelled all pretenders to the sovereignty; and he reduced his turbulent barons to pay submission to his authority, and to suspend their mutual animosities. Gul. Ingulph. p. 65.
"And you didn't speak about havin' her come to live with us?" "No." "Well, why in the land didn't you say so before, Albe't?" "You didn't ask me. What do you want I should say to her now?" "Say to who?" "The gul. She's down in the pahlor, waitin'." "Well, of all the men!" cried Mrs. Lander.
