Ferrolan struck up this refrain, singing with a vigor which proved his earnestness. Sir Modava, the engineers, and the cook immediately joined in with him. Dr. Hawkes, Uncle Moses, Mr. Woolridge, and others, because they approved the sentiment of the words, struck in at the second line, and it became a full chorus before the last line was reached.
"The glass varies here from 52° to 100°; but we don't get the latter figure except in summer," added Sir Modava. "But you have awful cyclones here, an English lady told me last night," said Mrs. Belgrave. "We do; but we never have them at this season of the year; they come in May, September, and October, and sometimes in November the belated ones.
He has been on a mission in the interests of his father to obtain certain information, though he holds no official position. "Sir Modava Rao has held several official positions in India, and is perhaps more familiar with the country and its British and native governments than any other man.
"The Mohammedan traditions require that a mosque should be erected in connection with every mortuary temple," replied Sir Modava. "Isa Mohammed, a later emperor, built one at the western end of the terrace. It was a beautiful building with three domes, in keeping with the Taj.
On the west are Beloochistan and Afghanistan, and on the east Siam and China, though the boundaries were somewhat disturbed last summer in the former." "We used to pronounce the name of your great northern range of mountains Hi-ma-lay'-a; you do not call it so, Sir Modava," said the commander.
"You have not been told about it; but I will give you its history when we have time, for here are the Eden Gardens," replied Sir Modava. "Not the Garden of Eden?" suggested Mrs. Belgrave. "Only named for it; but it is a very beautiful garden in English style, though the trees and plants are, of course, different.
This battle is to settle the question; and the bets are mostly in favor of the tiger, though the Guicowar, with a few others, places his stake on the bull," Sir Modava explained. The tiger was released from the cage at a signal from the king. He leaped from the cage, and seemed to be astonished at the sight of so many people.
A slight change, and the river was called the Hind, which is still the language of the natives, while the country around it is Hind, from which comes Hindu, and Hindustan; but these designations really belong to a province, though they are now given very generally to the whole peninsula," continued Sir Modava, turning to the enormous map which had been painted by Mr. Gaskette and his assistants.
But we have gone as far in this direction as we need go." The Sylph came about, and went back up the river, landing above the funeral pyres. From the ghat, they walked into one of the crowded streets. They were conducted by Sir Modava to a square, which was thronged with natives. In the middle of it was a small round temple, the spire of which was overlaid with plates of gold.
"I shall feel better and happier when I have done, in connection with Sir Modava, what I propose, and I beg you will withdraw your objections," persisted the viscount. They argued the question for some time; but at last the commander yielded the point.
