"I mean, heavenborn that there is insurrection! All India is ablaze from end to end. These dogs here in Hanadra wait to rise because they think the section will return here in an hour or two; then they propose to burn it, men, guns and horses, like snakes in the summer grass. It is well that the section will not return! We will ride out safely before morning!"
"Ayah!" she called again, afraid, though she knew not why, to enter. "She guards the jewels, heavenborn! Wait, while I bring the lamp!" He crossed the room, brought it and stepped with it past Ruth, straight into the room. "See!" he said, holding the lamp up above his head. "There in her bosom are the jewels! It was there, too, that she had the knife to slay thee with!
"Barracks, heavenborn!" "Barracks? What barracks?" "There is but one barracks between here and Jundhra." "Then then then what has happened, Mahommed Khan?" "The worst has happened, heavenborn!" He stood between her and the ayah, so that she could not see the woman huddled on the floor. "The worst? You mean then my my husband you don't mean that my husband "
Ride him cross-saddle, heavenborn there were no side-saddles in Siroeh! Nay, he is just a little frightened. He will stand he will not throw thee! I did better than I thought, heavenborn. I come with four-and-twenty, making twenty-six with me and Suliman. An escort for a queen! So sit him quietly. Leave the reins free. Suliman will lead him! Ho! Fronnnt! Rank 'bout-face!"
"The horse will have all that it can carry, heavenborn, without a load of woman's trappings." "My jewels? I can take them, I suppose?" He bowed. "They are in there? I will bring them, heavenborn!" "Nonsense! You don't know where to find them." "The ayah will will show me!" He fitted the key into the lock and turned it, but Ruth was at his side before he could pass in through the door.
This dog of a Hindu here knows of some hiding-place. Let him speak!" His hand went to his sword again, and his eyes flashed. "Listen, heavenborn! I am no torturer of priests by trade! It is not my life that I would save!" "I know that, Mahommed Khan! I respect your motive. It's the method that I can't tolerate." The Risaldar drew his arm away from her and began to pace the room.
"And how long does the heavenborn think it would be her room were this evil-living pig of a priest at large, or how long before a worse crime were committed? Heavenborn, the hour is late and the charcoal dies out rapidly when it has left the fire! See. I must choose another piece!" He rummaged in the brazier, and she screamed again. "I will not have it, Risaldar! You must find another way."
"Truly, heavenborn. One son, who grows into a man the treasure of my old heart." "A gambler!" "A young man, heavenborn, who feels his manhood now and then gay now and then foolish " "A budmash!" "Nay, an honest one!" "Who borrowed from Mukhum Dass the money-lender, making untrue promises?" "Nay, the money was to pay a debt." "A gambling debt, and he lied about it."
"Nonsense, Risaldar! The ayah can't hurt me. You have taken her knife away, and that is my room. I will go in there alone!" She pushed past him before he could prevent her, thrust the door back and peered in. "Stay, heavenborn I will explain!" "Explain what?" The dim light from the lamp was filtering in past them, and her eyes were slowly growing accustomed to the gloom.
Thank God!" The old man's shabbiness was very obvious as he faced her, with his back against the iron-studded door; but he stood erect as a man of thirty, and his medals and his sword-hilt and his silver scabbard-tip were bright. "Tell me, Mahommed Khan, you have seen my husband?" He bowed. "You have spoken to him?" The old man bowed again. "He left you in my keeping, heavenborn.
