In half an hour the attack will begin." "Sahib is it good to wait? The dawn cometh, and with the dawn " Nehal Singh lifted his hand peremptorily. "In half an hour," he repeated. The man salaamed and was gone. Nehal Singh stood there like a pillar of stone. It was over. In half an hour!
"My dear lady, I never doubted your courage," Nicholson answered, "and my news is not so hopeless as you suppose. I spoke with Nehal Singh." He saw Beatrice start and glance in his direction with an expression of sudden suspense in her fine eyes. "What he said left me no option. There could be no idea of coming to terms. At the same time it seems that he has no desire for a general massacre.

For with that act of treachery he drew back the veil from my blind eyes, and I saw that they were all as he bad, cruel, hypocrites " "Not all not all!" Nehal Singh interrupted. He stopped by the splashing fountain and gazed dreamily into the clear waters. His own face he saw there and another which was neither bad, cruel, nor hypocritical, but wholly beautiful.

Colonel Carmichael obeyed, thankful for any occupation which saved him the necessity of replying; and one by one the solemn, unmoved faces came under Nehal Singh's eager gaze, bowed, and passed on.
Lead us, for thou art Vishnu, thou art God!" "Thou hearest!" Nehal Singh said, turning to Nicholson. "I hear," the Englishman answered significantly. "And I know, as thou knowest, that it is a lie.
