"Khoda shefa midêhed God gives relief!" cried the pacha, as the divan closed: and, certainly, during its continuance many had been relieved of their worldly goods, and one or two from all future worldly thoughts or wanderings. "What have we to-day, Mustapha?" "May your highness's shadow never be less!" replied the vizier.
"Khoda shefa midêhed God gives relief," replied the pacha, as he resumed his seat: "let him approach." The renegade entered and, having paid the customary obeisance, took his seat, and commenced the narrative of his Second Voyage.
And an hour later Tallantire met on the bank a woman in a gingham riding-habit and a sun-hat who cried out to him for her husband her boy and her darling while Khoda Dad Khan threw himself face-down on the sand and covered his eyes. The very simplicity of the notion was its charm.
This is sweet water, indeed sweet as the water of Sheoran when it comes from the snows. They are all well and pleased in the North Khoda Baksh and the others. Yar Khan has come down with the horses from Kurdistan six and thirty head only, and a full half pack-ponies and has said openly in the Kashmir Serai that you English should send guns and blow the Amir into Hell.

Call the Khusru Kheyl men up; I'll hold my last public audience. Khoda Dad Khan! The leader of the men sprang to the side of the litter, his companions following.

"This Indian stronghold was ultimately taken by Melikh Khan Khoda, who stormed it, and fought day and night to reduce it. The army that made the siege with heavy guns had neither eaten nor drunk for twenty days. He lost 5000 of his best soldiers.
'Where's your master, Babujee? 'I am the Deputy Commissioner, said the gentleman in English. Now he overvalued the effects of university degrees, and stared Khoda Dad Khan in the face.
The little ceremony used to be a sign that, so far as Khoda Dad Khan's personal influence went, the Khusru Kheyl would be good boys, till the next time; especially if Khoda Dad Khan happened to like the new Deputy Commissioner. In Yardley- Orde's consulship his visit concluded with a sumptuous dinner and perhaps forbidden liquors; certainly with some wonderful tales and great good-fellowship.
Get hence to the hills go, and wait there starving, till it shall please the Government to call thy people out for punishment children and fools that ye be! Count your dead, and be still. Best assured that the Government will send you a MAN! 'Ay, returned Khoda Dad Khan, 'for we also be men. As he looked Tallantire between the eyes, he added, 'And by God, Sahib, may thou be that man!
