Then I saw the Emperor himself, a little in advance of the others; he was seated, as if in an arm-chair, on his white horse, and I could see him well, beneath the clear sky, motionless and looking at the battle through his field-glass. My heart beat gladly; I cried "Vive l'Empereur!" with all my strength, and rushed along the main street of Kaya.
Kaya put her hand to her cropped yellow curls, and then she looked at him and a dimple came in her cheek: "I forgot about being a boy," she murmured, "Is this what you call an inn, Velasco? It looks like a stable!" "It is a stable."
Äbdul Rahman picked himself up, and ran as far as the big stone mosque, where he collapsed and died. To’ Kâya did not pursue him, but stood looking at the leaping flames. The next man to arrive on the scene was Pa’ Pek, a Trĕnggânu native, who, with his wife Ma’ Pek, had tended To’ Kâya when he was little.
They are stamping and clapping for you; they are calling your name!" He threw back his head, laughing madly: "Come Kaya! Let us go together and peep through the curtain. The first time I saw you, you were there in the House, and I behind on the stage alone, with your violets. Now we are together. You will leave me, you say? Come, Kaya, and look at the House through the curtain.
At this, Saleh and all the other men with him fled incontinently. To’ Kâya, then picked himself up. He had not been hurt in the struggle, for Saleh and his people had not stayed to unbind their spears, which were fastened into bundles, and, save for the slight wounds in his hand and on his back, he was little the worse for his adventures.
An impulse came over her to throw herself from the gallery at his feet, as she had flung the violets; and she crouched closer against the wall, clinging to it. "Velasco! Velasco!" A roar went up from the House. The sound of the clapping was like rain falling; a mighty volume of sound, deafening, frightening. Kaya crouched still lower.
His dark eyes measured the shrinking form, bent and crippled, shrouded; and he cried out in his disappointment like a peevish boy: "I thought it was she she! Kaya was young, fair, her face was like a flower; her hair was like gold; her lips were parted, arched and sweet; her eyes You, you are not Kaya! Never!" His voice was angry and full of scorn: "It was all a dream, a mistake.
Along the road, in the full teeth of the blast, trudged two boys, the one a little behind the other, and the taller of the two shielding the younger with his body. "Is it far now, Velasco?" "Not far, if you peep through the folds of your cloak you will see the domes over yonder. Are you weary, Kaya?" "No Velasco."
Kaya ran lightly to the peg and took down her hat. She was laughing, and her face was alight as if the sun-beams had touched it; her lips were parted and the dimples came and went in her cheeks: "Now my cloak!" she cried, "Quick! Help me the right sleeve, dear master, can you find it? Yes yes! And my gloves here they are!" "Kaya, your face is like a rose and your feet are dancing." She blushed.
"Velasco!" she cried. "Kaya Kaya!" But the audience thought she had called out to Siegfried, and to encourage her they applauded, clapping and stamping with their feet and their hands. The sound revived her suddenly like the dash of cold water on the face of a sleep-walker. "I must go on!" she said to herself, "Whatever happens I must go on!" Her eyes were still riveted.
