That's why he agreed with me about developing the resources of the district by cotton-growing, you know." "You talked of that too?" said Strickland. "Rather. We discussed it for hours. You don't know what it meant to me. A wonderful man. Imam Din, was not our Hajji marvellous?" "Most marvellous! It was all through the Hajji that we found the money for our cotton-play."
The Hajji then said: 'Fetch fire from the morning hearth, and come to windward. The wind is strong on those headlands at sunrise, so when each had emptied his crock of fire in front of that which was before him, the broadside of the town roared into flame, and all went. The Hajji then said: 'At the end of a time there will come here the white man ye once chased for sport.
"Too Green, you would have said, had you dared; but you are a Hajji too, and even the Greens know that a Hajji never puns, unless, indeed, it might be one from Philadelphia. But you will visit these people?" "Certainly, if they are in society and render it necessary by their own civilities."
A little, as ye have heard, has remained.... Ah, but when the fever broke, and our Sahib called for the fine-book, and the thin little picture-books from Europe with the pictures of ploughs and hoes, and cotton=3Dmills ah, then he laughed as he used to laugh, Sahib. It was his heart's desire, this cotton-play. The Hajji loved him, as who does not?
She perceived, for the first time, on this occasion, that if Eve were indeed a Hajji, it was not a Hajji of a common school; and, while her modesty and self- abasement led her bitterly to regret the hours irretrievably wasted in the frivolous levities so common to those of her sex with whom she had been most accustomed to mingle, her sincere regret did not lessen her admiration for one she began tenderly to love.
'The Hajji has of his favour given me service, said Kim testily. 'If this be doubted, wait till he comes in the morning. Meantime, a place by the fire. Followed the usual aimless babble that every low-caste native must raise on every occasion. It died down, and Kim lay out behind the little knot of Mahbub's followers, almost under the wheels of a horse-truck, a borrowed blanket for covering.
Doubtless the Hajji could have given him money enough out of hand for ten cottonplays; but in this respect also our Sahib's virtue was beyond belief or compare. Great Ones do not exchange moneys. Therefore the Hajji said and I helped with my counsel that we must make arrangements to get the money in all respects conformable with the English Law. It was great trouble to us, but the Law is the Law.
We had fore-arranged all this with Bulaki Ram, who knows the English Law, and, I thought the Hajji remembered, but he grew angry, and cried out: 'O God, Refuge of the Afflicted, must I, who am what I am, peddle this dog's meat by the roadside to gain his delight for my heart's delight? None the less, he admitted it was the English Law, and so he offered me the six five in a small voice, with an averted head.
The Infant made some noise in his throat, and reached for more Burgundy. "About noon one of our six fell dead. Fright only frights Sahib! None had none could touch him. Since they were in pairs, and the other of the Fork was mad and sang foolishly, we waited for some heathen to do what was needful. There came at last Angari men with goats. The Hajji said: 'What do ye see?
"It strikes me as being excessively coarse!" "Oh! manifestly; quite rustic!" exclaimed Mr. Edson. "What can possibly be more vulgar?" added Mr. Walworth. "I never heard of such a thing among the right sort!" said Mr. Mosely.
