Narayan uttered an exclamation, and stood still, the very image of bewilderment past description. "I know the place!" said he, at last. "This is Dayri Bol, the country house of the Takur-Sahib. I know it. Last year during the famine I lived there for two months." I was the first to grasp the meaning of it all, but something prevented me from speaking at once. At last Mr.
By that time it was light enough to see clearly at close range, and Narayan Singh caught my eye behind her back. I nodded. If there were any likelihood of Ali Higg being on the prowl why should she be in such a hurry to make terms?
"My dear Narayan," at last said the colonel, "I do not want to believe that your intention is to make fun of our credulity. But I can't believe either, that you seriously mean to assure us that any living creature, be it an animal or an ascetic, could exist in a place where there is no air.
Of course we had this curiosity, and our noses remained safe only thanks to the Babu, Narayan and the Takur, who took as great care of us as if they had been nurses, and we their babies.
