He will promise me anything if I will tell him what to say to Gungadhura; and I shall tell him, without believing the promises. One of these days perhaps he will plot with Gungadhura to have me poisoned, being in agreement with the commissioner sahib who said to you just now that it is not good to know too much! But neither is it good to be too late!
If you can get rid of Gungadhura, get rid of his whole connection by all means." "What should be done with the sons, then?" asked Sir Hookum Bannerjee, father of half a dozen budding lawyers. "Oh, send 'em to school in England, I suppose," said Samson. "There's precedent for that too. But there's another point.
He was minded to spit on the palace steps, but refrained because the guard would surely have reported what he did to Gungadhura, who would have understood the act in its exact significance.
But he tossed ash from the end of his cigar to illustrate offhandedness. "I think I could promise ten per cent. of it to whoever brought us exact information of its whereabouts before the maharajah could lay his hands on it." "I'll tell that to my husband." "Do." "Of course, being in a way in partnership with Gungadhura, he might " "Let me give you one word of caution, if I may without offense.
"He will need to be paid," said Gungadhura. "There will be plenty to pay him with!" she answered, her eyes gleaming. So Gungadhura, with his face still heavily bandaged, drove in a lumbering closed carriage up the rough track to the tunnel Dick had blasted in the hill-side.
The news of Gungadhura's abdication was abroad already, many times multiplied by each mouth until two batteries of guns had become an army corps. But what caused the greatest excitement was the news, first of all whispered, then confirmed, that Gungadhura himself was missing.
Tell them Gungadhura wants no talk about tonight's work. Then come to Blaine sahib's house and search the cellar by lamplight, letting Chalmu the butler see you do it, but taking care not to let him see what you see. What you do see, leave where it lies! Then see Gungadhura early in the morning " "Lordy me, Your Ladyship, he'll " "No, he won't.
He'll have to be stopped, and I'll have to make some sort of explanation." "What's an American doing in Sialpore?" "Prospecting. Has a contract with Gungadhura." "Um-m-m! We'll have Standard Oil in next! Better point out to Utirupa that contracts with foreigner's aren't regarded cordially." "That's easily done," said Samson. "Utirupa is nothing if not anxious to please."
"It's known all over Sialpore that her ladyship's staying here, and Gungadhura's at large somewhere. You're well guarded; that's been seen to, but Trotters stays for double inner-guard. One or two men might go to sleep. Gungadhura might pass them a poisoned drink, or physic their rations in some way.
Another day or two and you'd have forestalled us! I suppose you'd a contract with Gungadhura for a share of it?" "You bet!" "Well it wasn't registered. I doubt if you could have enforced it. Gungadhura is an awful rascal." "Gee!" lied Dick. "I never thought of that! I had my other contract registered all right in your office you remember?" "Yes. I warned you at the time about Gungadhura."
