Now tell me over again from the beginning what you know about the political situation in Howrah. Quickly, please. Consider yourself a scout reporting to his officer." Ten minutes later Cunninham heard a commotion by the parapet, and stalked off to find Alwa, close followed by Mahommed Gunga.
I know, too, how deep the love lies between thee and thy brother, king of Howrah! I am here to remind you that many more than ten men would race their horses to a stand-still to answer my summons brave men, Maharajah-sahib men whose blades are keen, and straightly held, and true. They who would rally round me against Jaimihr would " "Would fight for me?" "I have not yet said so."
"Did he order you to stay in Howrah?" "He gave me certain orders. I obeyed them until your men invited swift death for themselves and you by interfering with me!" "What were the orders?" Ali Partab grinned again this time insolently. "To make sure that the Jaimihr-sahib did not make away with the treasure of his brother Howrah!" he answered.
Jaimihr' rat's nest is one affair," he muttered; "Howrah' beehive is another!" Now, secrets and things of the Councils of Kings Are deucid expensive to buy, For it wouldn't look nice if a Councillor's price Were anything other than high. JOANNA when Alwa forgot about her and loosed her to run just where she chose had sneaked, down alleys and over roof-tops, straight for the mission house.
The treasure the fabled, fabulous, enormous Howrah treasure was no fable. It was there, behind that wall!
"And Jaimihr is er in love with you!" "He tried very hard to prove it, in his own objectionable way!" "And Jaimihr wants the throne and Howrah wants to send a force against the British, but dare not move because of Jaimihr I have Mahommed Gunga and five or six men to depend on the Rangars are sitting on the fence and the government has its hands full! The lookout's bright!
I know, for I have taken care to know, that a cousin of yours Mahommed Gunga is interested for the British. So so I am interested to have word with you." Alwa laughed ironically. "And the tiger asked the wolf pack where good hunting was!" he mocked. "I and my men strike which way suits us when the hour comes." "My palace has many chambers in it!" hinted Howrah.
"Why," demanded Howrah, "since you are a foreigner with neither influence nor right, do you stay here and behold what you cannot change? Does a snake lie sleeping on an ant-hill? Does a woman watch the butchering of lambs? Yet, do ant-hills cease to be, and are lambs not butchered? Look the other way! Sleep softer in another place!" "I am a prisoner.
He's half-dead too." "My name is Cunningham." "I'm Miss McClean. My father was a missionary in Howrah." She nodded to a chair beside her, and Cunningham took it, feeling awkward, as men of his type usually do when they meet a woman in a strange place. "How in the world did you get in?" she asked him. "It's two days now since the Alwa-sahib told us that the whole country is in rebellion.
"All priests are alike ours, and theirs, and padre-sahibs! They all preach peace and goad the lust that breeds war and massacre! Does a priest serve any but himself? Since when? There will come this rising that the priests speak of yes! Of a truth, there will, for the priests will see to it! There is a padre-sahib here in Howrah now for the Hindoo priests to whet their hate on.
