So the people of Hurda went out to meet Neela Deo, King of all elephants. When the front of the throng went by his place, Hand-of-a-God enquired of running men from his own gateway. By his side the Gul Moti stood with Son of Power. When they understood, she pushed her chosen of all men through the vine-made arch and he sprang away and ran with the people.
"She's the best gul in the wo'ld, and she won't be one of the poorest; and I shall feel that I'm doin' just what Mr. Landa would have wanted I should. He picked her out himself, moa than three yea's ago, when we was drivin' past her house at Middlemount, and it was to humor him afta he was gone, moa than anything else, that I took her. Well, she wa'n't so very easy to git, either, I can tell you."
'Now, said the king, 'you have seen these things and your purpose is fulfilled. 'Truly, said the prince, 'I have seen things which I have not understood; what do they mean, and what is the story of them? Tell me and kill me. Then said the king: 'The woman you see there in chains is my wife; she is called Gul, the Rose, and I am Sinaubar, the Cypress.
Bate Wood nodded as approvingly as if he had been asked about his bread. "Oliver, what do you say?" "Wal, I'd love to wait an' see Gul hang, but if you press me, I'll agree to stand pat with the cards Jesse's dealt," replied Handy Oliver. Then Kells turned with a bright gleam upon his face. "And you Pearce?"
"Well done for those mahouts!" the Gul Moti cried out in relief. "The caparisons at least are safe. How did they do it?" "It was well done, Hakima-ji," the old man exulted. "The masters were listening to Mitha Baba, delaying between her and the river space of six breaths; then those men became like monkeys! It is no easiness unfastening everything from top of an elephant. You shall see."
"For your kindness, Sahib, salaam!" Then he turned and walked proudly out of the room and Wargrave heard the tramp of heavy feet on the rocky road outside as the prisoner was marched away on the long trail to the gallows. Two months later Gul Mahommed was hanged in the courtyard of Alipur jail in Calcutta before detachments of all the regiments garrisoning the city.
'When I came to the foot of those hills which lie outside the city I saw Gul dismount and go towards a house which some negroes have built there. Over against the door was a high seat, and on it lay a giant negro, before whom she salaamed. He got up and beat her till she was marked with weals, but she uttered no complaint.

Harold had seized the advantage of a rising ground, and having likewise drawn some trenches to secure his flanks, he resolved to stand upon the defensive, and to avoid all action with the cavalry, in which he was inferior.
He did not lift his haughty head to look at the wayfarer who meekly wrote his name in the register; he did not answer him when he begged for a cool room; he turned to the board on which the keys hung, and, plucking one from it, slid it towards Basil on the marble counter, touched a bell for a call-boy, whistled a bar of Offenbach, and as he wrote the number of the room against Basil's name, said to a friend lounging near him, as if resuming a conversation, "Well, she's a mighty pooty gul, any way, Chawley!"
"Share and share alike!" he thundered, now black in the face. "Do you fools want to waste time here on the road, dividing up this gold?" "What you say goes," shouted Budd. There was no dissenting voice. "What a stake!" ejaculated Blicky. "Gul, the boss had it figgered. Strange, though, he hasn't showed up!" "Where'll we go?" queried Gulden. "Speak up, you men."
