Suddenly and unexpectedly and sweetly, like a voice in the night that spoke of hope and strength and the rebirth of order out of chaos, a bugle gave tongue from where the lanterns swung in straight-kept lines. "Oh, Juggut Khan! Oh, Juggut Khan!"
Cheerful and lively, his merry laugh might be heard in the midst of a knot of his admirers, to whom he was relating some amusing anecdote, while his shrewd remarks were the result of keen observation, and proved his intellect to be by no means of a low order. His elder brother Juggut was fat, lazy, and good tempered, but wanting the energy of his brothers.
Is my task easier, or yours? She said 'Obey your orders, Juggut Khan, and accept my thanks now, since I shall be unable to thank you afterward! And then she looked me bravely in the face, and met her death, sahib. Of a truth I know! I am to be trusted!" "I believe you, Juggut Khan. And, incidentally, I beg your pardon for having doubted you. Have you slept?" "Nay, Sahib.
I am a clean man. I listened to his conversation. The Beluchi held him." "Oh! Well, I like you well enough, Juggut Khan, but there are things about you that I don't like. You're too fond of doing things on your own responsibility, and you're much too fond of using oaths. Y our soul is none o' my business; you're a heathen anyhow, and no longer in the Service.
His eyes gleamed more horridly than ever, and his withered arm seemed more than ever to be calling down dire vengeance on them. "I believe that monster is up to tricks of some kind!" swore Brown. "He can't do anything," said Juggut Khan. "If we were all to put our weight against this, all together, we and the prisoners, sahib, we could get it open in a second." "All together, then!" said Brown.
In one spot lay a sepoy pierced through by a lance, and with half of the lance-shaft still standing upright in him. That had been bad art sheer playing to the gallery! Juggut Khan had run him through and tried to lift him on the lance-end for a trophy. It was luck that saved the day for him that time, not swordsmanship. But a man who has done what he had done that day may be forgiven.
He climbed down from the tree, feeling almost good-natured. At the bottom he met Juggut Khan, waiting for him patiently. "What have you seen, sahib?" he asked him. "Have you formed a plan?" "I've been wishing I was Joshua!" said Brown. "I'd like to make my men march round the city and blow trumpets, and then see the walls fall down. I can think of several things to do, if we could only get inside.
I heard men among the mutineers declare that all had been accounted for, save only three women and a child, and me. Those four I myself had hidden, and as for myself I too was accounted for, and not without credit to the Raj for whom I fight!" "I believe you, Juggut Khan! Did you have to cut your way out?" The Rajput smiled. "There was a message to deliver, sahib! What would you?
But the Rajput smiled as he said it, and thought of a certain lance-shaft which had been broken in the streets of Jailpore. "Lead on! Fall in behind me, men! Walk quietly, now, and remember. Hold your tongues! Each man keep his eye on me, and a finger on the trigger!" The Beluchi and the fakir and Juggut Khan moved in the van, with two men to hold the fakir.
"Juggut Seet expressly declared in his narrative, that the sum which he agreed to pay the deputation, amounting to 125,000 rupees, was extorted by menaces; and since the close of our inquiry, and the opinions we delivered in the Proceedings of the 21st June, it fully appears that the presents from the Nabob and Mahomed Reza Khân, exceeding the immense sum of seventeen lacs, were not the voluntary offerings of gratitude, but contributions levied on the weakness of the government, and violently exacted from the dependent state and timid disposition of the minister.
