If Yasmini could pluck heart-strings more cleverly than Gungadhura could break and bruise them, so much the worse for Gungadhura's plans, that was all, as far as Patali was concerned. For several days after that, as Yasmini more than hinted in her letter to Tess, repeated efforts were made to administer poison in the careful undiscoverable ways that India has made her own since time immemorial.
Who takes a reverter's colt to school into a charger? The English will turn their eyes away from Gungadhura's stock." "But Gungadhura himself?" "Is in the toils already! Say this for the English: they are slow to reach conclusions slower still to change their policy; but when their mind is made up they are swift! Gungadhura has been sending messages to the Northwest tribes. How do I know?
She recognized the appeal to her own pride, and ignored it. What she was thinking of was Gungadhura's beastliness his attempts to poison Yasmini his treatment of women generally his cruelty to animals in the arena his viciousness; and then, of how much more queenly if nothing else, this girl would likely be than ever Gungadhura could be kingly.
Gungadhura Singh is a suspicious rajah. He suspects me anyway. I screwed better terms out of him than the miller got from Bob White, and now whenever he sees me off the job he suspects me of chicanery. If we fired Chamu he'd think I'd found the gold and was trying to hide it. Say, if I don't find gold in his blamed hills eventually !" "You'll find it, Dick.
"You have a rotten time here alone all day, and I can't do much to 'liven it. Take sensible precautions but have a good time anyway you can." Because Yasmini had monopolized imagination she told him last of all, at lunch, about the commissioner's call, rehearsing that, too, detail by detail, word for word. "Wants me to find the treasure, does he, and call the game on Gungadhura?
And if Gungadhura comes an' shoots at where Trotters' eyes gleam well Mr. Dick Blaine is liable to wake up an' show his highness how Buffalo Billy imitates a Gatling gun! The house is safe, but I thought I'd come and mention it." "When will my palace be ready?" Yasmini asked. "Tomorrow or the next day, Your Ladyship. There wasn't so much taken out after all, though a certain amount was stolen.
Blaine himself complained to me. It seems that he had given Gungadhura leave to search the cellar, at Gungadhura's request, for what purpose Blaine professes not to know. Blaine himself, you may remember, lunched and dined at the club last Sunday and gave three of us a rather costly lesson in his national game of poker. It took place while he was with us at the club.
"I know she was here," he burst out. "My men followed her home." "Yes, she was here. She told." "How did you make her tell? The she-devil is more cunning than a cobra!" Jinendra's high priest smiled complacently. "A servant of the gods, such as I am, is not altogether without power. I found a way. She told." "I, too, will find a way!" muttered Gungadhura to himself.
Be good enough to hold yourself and your family in readiness tomorrow morning." "But my son!" exclaimed Gungadhura. "I abdicate in favor of my son!"
There have been many. All the conspirators have died by poison by dagger by the sword by snake-bite by bullets they have all died always! Do you understand?" Dick shuddered in spite of himself. "Then take the map!" Gungadhura turned his back and fumbled in the folds of his semi-European clothing.
