Halting within a pace or two of where I stood, near the king, Mapela saluted, and said: "Behold, O Great, Great One, I have chosen a warrior, even as you bade me. He is named 'Mfuni, and is the son of Matanga, one of our most skilled and cunning fighters, who has carefully trained his son in all the arts of warfare. Is my choice approved?"
For the remainder of the evening Drake avoided Clarice. As he was taking his leave, however, she came up to him. He shook her by the hand and she whispered one word to him, 'Matanga. Drake could not mistake the note of longing in her voice, and as he drove to his chambers the temptation with which he had wrestled at the gates of Garples assailed him again, and with double force.
Verily, one having taken birth in that sinful order of existence, viz., Pukkasa, one, O Matanga, has to wander in it for a very long time. Passing a period of one thousand years in that order, one attains next to the status of a Sudra. In the Sudra order, again, one has to wander for a long time. After thirty thousand years one acquire the status of a Vaisya.
""Matanga said, 'I have passed these thousand years, standing on one foot, in deep meditation, observing of the vow of Brahmacharyya. Why is it that I have not yet succeeded in acquiring the status of a Brahmana? ""Sakra said, 'One born on a Chandala cannot, by any means acquire the status of a Brahmana.
You can't sit quiet as if this was an irresponsible piece of paragraph-writing. You would have to resign your seat in Parliament, your connection with the Matanga Company everything. You couldn't possibly live in England. 'Do you think I haven't counted up precisely what inaction is going to cost me? interrupted Drake.
You have enjoyed your holiday. 'I had an amusing companion. 'You have given him some spark of your activity, and the sentence was pitched to convey thanks. 'Then you have seen him? Drake's embarrassment became more pronounced. He paused for a second and then rose and walked across the room. 'You know, I suppose, he resumed, 'that I am going out to Matanga in a month.
The two then went aside from the rest of the party, and the stranger said, "O prince, last night, during sleep, Siva appeared to me and addressed me thus: 'Matanga, I am pleased with your devotions; they shall now have their reward.
In Matanga a small force of them, yes! But even they were difficult to manage, and you could not depend upon them. They would desert at the first opportunity, sell their guns, your peace-offerings of brass rods, and whatever they could lay their hands on, and straggle behind in the dusk until they got lost. It was no use sending back for them in the morning.
The curiosity of the prince was much excited by Matanga's story, and he readily promised to be his companion; fearing, however, that his friends would be opposed to his purpose, he did not on his return tell them anything of what he had heard, and at midnight, when they were all fast asleep, he slipped away without disturbing them, and went to join Matanga, who was waiting for him at a place which had been agreed on, and the two walked on till they came to the rock indicated by Siva in the vision.
From Matanga Drake led the conversation back to London, and they fell to discussing the play. 'You are very interested in it, she said. 'Yes, said he, 'I have never seen the play before. 'I should hardly have thought it would have suited your taste, Conway observed. 'Why? It's French of course, but you can discount the sentiment. There is a stratum of truth left, don't you think?
