Our Stebbing says 'tis because Kally White makes eyes at him; but any way, White has got to do his work while he's away, and go all the rounds to see that things are right, so I go after him, and he lets me have just what I like -such jolly crystals. 'I am sure I hope it is all right. 'Oh yes, I always ask him, as you told me; but he is awfully slow and mopy and down in the mouth to-day.
So she actually lent an ear when the young man came persuading Kally to get married and go off to Italy with him, where he made sure he could come over Mr. White with her beauty and relationship and all -among the myrtle groves -that was his expression where she would have an association worthy of her.
The temple of Kally is a miserable building, or rather a dark hole, from whose cupola-like roof rise several turrets: the statue here was remarkable for its immense head and horribly long tongue. Its face was painted deep-red, yellow, and sky-blue. I was unable to enter this god-like hole, as I was a woman, and as such was not reckoned worthy of admission into so sacred a place as Kally's temple.
'Oh no, no ; don't say that! 'Well, George Stebbing really taught Fergus to call him a beast, and you -Kally -I won't tease you with saying what you are. 'I wish I wasn't, it would be all so much easier. 'Never mind! I do believe the Stebbings are going away! Does Maura never see him? 'She has met him on the stairs and in the garden, but she has her meals here.
Arnold, over the teapot, agreed that walking in Calcutta was an insidious pleasure one gathered a lassitude and brought her cup. She looked at him for an instant as she took it. "But I am not too tired to hear what you have on your mind," she said. "Have Kally Nath Mitter's relations prevailed over his convictions? Won't your landlord let you have your oratory on the roof after all?"
'I was going to say, pursued Kalliope, 'that the shock her entrance gave to me proved all the more that we cannot be treating her properly. 'Never mind that! I did not come about that. She is quite taken with you, Kally, and wants you more than ever to be a Friendly Girl, because she thinks it would be so good for the others who are under you.

Kalliope looked half convinced, but she persisted 'I suppose you do; only please, till there is a letter from Lady Merrifield, I had rather not go into this Society. 'But, Kally, you don't consider. What am I to say to my aunt? What will she think of you? 'I can't help that! I cannot do this while she could feel I was conniving at what she might not like. Indeed, I cannot.
To all which he appeared to comprehend of what I said his answer was "Awoy," accompanied by a nod, as if he had said "O yes." On my mentioning Goindura Gally, and making the signs of paddling a canoe, he pointed immediately to the westward. This term I understood from the Bungan tribe to mean saltwater; water being kally, gally, or gallo.
But when Maura had gone to bed and to sleep, she woke up, and there was Kally crying over her prayers, and whispering half aloud, "Is she going too? My poor child! Oh, save her! Give her the Spirit of truth " 'Poor Kalliope! She is a good sister. 'Yes; Maura says Kally is awfully afraid of their telling stories because of Richard -the eldest, you know. He does it dreadfully.
