"If I am of no value, I am unworthy of this honor," said Lalun. "If I am of value, they are unworthy of Me," And that was a crooked sentence. In the long hot nights of latter April and May all the City seemed to assemble in Lalun's little white room to smoke and to talk.

"In this house I am a Queen and thou art a King. The Sahib" she put her arms above her head and thought for a moment "the Sahib shall be our Vizier thine and mine, Wali Dad because he has said that thou shouldst leave me." Wali Dad laughed immoderately, and I laughed too. "Be it so," said he. "My friend, are you willing to take this lucrative Government appointment? Lalun, what shall his pay be?"

But, as Wali Dad sings: 'Lalun is Lalun, and when you have said that you have only come to the Beginnings of Knowledge. The little house on the City wall was just big enough to hold Lalun, and her maid, and a pussy-cat with a silver collar. A big pink and blue cut-glass chandelier hung from the ceiling of the reception room.

'The first tazia has moved off, said Wali Dad, looking to the plain. 'That is very early, said the man with the pince-nez. 'It is only half-past eight. The company rose and departed. 'Some of them were men from Ladakh, said Lalun, when the last had gone. 'They brought me brick-tea such as the Russians sell, and a tea-urn from Peshawur. Show me, now, how the English Memsahibs make tea.

Ask the Pearl and she will show you how much she knows of the news of the City and the Province. Lalun knows everything." "Lalun," I said at random she was talking to a gentleman of the Kurd persuasion who had come in from God-knows-where "when does the 175th Regiment go to Agra?" "It does not go at all," said Lalun, without turning her head. "They have ordered the 118th to go in its stead.

"The first tazia has moved off," said Wali Dad, looking to the plain. "That is very early," said the man with the pince-nez. "It is only half-past eight." The company rose and departed.

'I choose to tell what I choose to tell. They kept Khem Singh in Burma, said she. 'They kept him there for many years until his mind was changed in him. So great was the kindness of the Government.
