The old servant stood up and made a low salaam to his master. "When the sun is down the wise traveller hurries to the Serai," Coryndon said to him. "I leave to-night for Madras, Shiraz, and you with me." "The end of all things is just, Huzoor," replied the old man, a strange light of reflection in his dim pebble-like eyes.
It is Indian soil; but the Indian may not walk on it; no, not though he were born next door. Yet why should we grumble or complain? We are the dirt beneath their feet. We are dogs and sons of dogs, and a hireling will turn our Princes from the gate lest the soles of our shoes should defile their sacred places. And are they not right, Huzoor?" he asked cunningly.
Kathlyn's nerves tingled with life again, and the sudden bounding of her heart stifled her. Umballa! She was surely lost. Sooner or later he would recognize her. The mahout stood up, delighted. He was indeed fortunate. He salaamed. "Huzoor, she is gentle," he said. The high-caste who had bid 3,000 rupees salaamed also. "Highness, she is yours," he said. "I can not bid against my regent."
Thy father said: 'Look after him, Mahommed Gunga, when the time is ripe for him to be a soldier. And I said: 'Ha, huzoor! So! Then here is India!" He waved one hand grandiloquently, as though he were presenting the throne of India to his protegé! "Here, sahib, is a servant blood of my own blood."
And so whoever walked down the Chandni Chauk during that hour dangled from those branches. Huzoor, for a week this went on for a whole week." The story was current in Delhi. Ahmed Ismail found it to his hand, and Shere Ali did not question it. He sat up erect, and something of the fire which this last day had been extinct kindled again in his sombre eyes.
"He will sleep now, Huzoor, like a day-old babe; and the Presence will sleep also. Since yesterday at this time your Honour hath taken no rest; and there be three hours yet to parade-time." "Good. We have fought a tough fight, thou and I, and be sure Lenox Sahib will know of thy share in it. Wake me at half-past five." "Huzoor."
He was accustomed to being called it by his sepoys; but he was amused at being regarded as the combined parents of so large an offspring. "Badshah has never let a white man approach him before today, Huzoor," continued Ramnath. "He has always been afraid of the sahibs. But he sees you are his friend. Salaam kuro, Badshah!"
She has skin the color of old tusks, and eyes like turquoise, and lips like the flame of the jungle, and hair like the sands of Ganges, mother of rivers." Bruce was upon his feet, alive, eager. He caught the Brahmin by the arm. "Is this woman white?" harshly. "Huzoor, the women of Allaha are always dark of hair." "And was sold as a slave?" "To Durga Ram, the king without a crown, Huzoor.
"That's it, Mir Saheb," replied I, sitting alert with chattering teeth and shivering ague-stricken body. "Barrister-at Law.... Sit as close to me as you can, for warmth.... Hark! Is that a signal?" as a long high wavering note rose from the dry river-bed before us and wailed lugubriously upon the night, rising and falling in mournful cadence. "'Twas a genuine jackal-cry, Huzoor.
"I'll take it," he cried, and Baram Singh silently appeared at the outer doorway of the tent. "Huzoor," he said. "Railgharri hai." Ballantyne turned to Thresk. "Your train is signalled," and as Thresk started up he reassured him. "There's no hurry. I have sent word that it is not to start without you."
