Canst thou look upon this poor beauty and hear me tell thee of my love and indeed I am altogether thine, Lalji! and harden thy heart against me?... What though it be as thou hast said? What though thou art of a truth not of the house of Rutton, nor yet a Rajput? Let us say that this is so, however hard it be to credit: even so, am I not reward enough for thy renunciation?"
Perchance," she told him archly, "thou didst not think to see me so soon, or in this garden? Perchance surprise hath robbed thee of thy wits and thy tongue as well, O wordless one? Or thou art overcome with joy, as I am overcome, and smitten dumb by it, as I am not? Aho, Lalji! was ever a woman at loss for words to voice her happiness?"
Hast thou forgotten the little maid they brought thee from the north, Lalji the maiden who had grown to womanhood ere thy return from thy travels to take up thy father's crown?... Aie!
It seems likely that she inferred a conquest from his indifference, for when they had come back to the tank of the gold-fish beneath the banian she slipped from his embrace and confronted him with a face afire with elation. "See now how thou art altogether controverted, Lalji!" she cried joyfully.
Day and night I have watched for thy coming for many years, praying that thou shouldst return to me ere this frail prettiness of mine, that made thee love me long ago, should wane and fade, so that thy heart should turn to other women, O my husband!" "Husband! Great Heavens! Look here, my dear, hadn't you better come to your senses and let me go before " "Let thee go, Lalji, ere what?
"If you've any means of proving my identity, I would thank you for making use of it, Ranee." "There is the test of the Token, Lalji." "I am not aware of it." "The test of the Token the ring that was brought to thee, the signet of thy House. Surely thou hast it with thee?" Since that night in Calcutta Amber had resumed his habit of carrying the Token in the chamois bag.
