Had 'em arrested so's to be able to question 'em. That's all, sir."
I am free again!" "Alwa-sahib!" Cunningham had fixed him with those calm gray eyes of his, and Mahommed Gunga sat down on the nearest bench contented. He could wait for what was coming now. He recognized the blossoming of the plant that he had nursed through its growth so long. "I listen," answered Alwa. "I represent the British Government.

Would she have gone if a coward asked her, think you? Sahib women are good at the other end of things! We will ride and fetch her. Ha! I saw! My eyes are old, but they bear witness yet!
Hurry on to Howrah, and once you're there, if Mahommed Gunga tells you what looks like a lie, trust him to the hilt!" "Is he coming with me, then?" asked Cunningham in some amazement.
