As sincerely as he believed yesterday that we were all heroes, as sincerely Nehal Singh believes to-day that there isn't an honest man among us." This time Colonel Carmichael made no answer.
She only knew that his features seemed to bear a new familiarity, as though a mask had been torn from them, revealing the face of another man, of a man whom she had seen before, when and where she could not tell. She had no time to analyze her emotions nor the sense of violent shock which passed over her. She heard Nehal Singh giving sharp, rapid orders in Hindustani. The room emptied.
"Can't you see that? Can't you see that, however much I loved you, I could not act otherwise than implore you to turn back from a step that means destruction for those bound to me by blood and country? Could I do less?" "No," he said slowly. She held out her hands to him. "Oh, Nehal, turn back while there is yet time! For my sake, for yours, for us all, turn back from a bloody, cruel revenge.
Rajah Nehal Singh of course accepted the invitation sent him, and scarcely a week passed before the eventful evening arrived toward which more than one looked forward with eager anticipation not least Mrs. Cary, who saw in every large entertainment a fresh opportunity for Beatrice to carry out her own particular campaign. It was therefore, as Mrs.
"Who would be likely to undertake the mission with any hope of success?" he asked. "Nehal Singh and I were, toward the end, rather more than friendly," Nicholson began.

"They can not go alone." Nehal Singh laughed sneeringly. "It is not your lives that I seek. Go with your women. No harm shall be done you.
From the beginning of the meeting she had once raised her eyes on Nehal Singh's entry and then it had been for no more than a second. That second had been enough. She had seen his face. She had seen and it was not her imagination, but a real and bitter irony that of all the people in the room she alone had been the object of his quiet greeting.
"Thinkest thou never of thyself?" he asked. "In thy dreams hast thou never seen thine own form rise at the call of thy waiting people?" "My waiting people!" Nehal Singh repeated, with a smile and a faint lifting of the eyebrows. "No people wait for me, my father. So much I have learned. I bear a title, a tract of land acknowledges my rule but a people!
It was the expression of hypnotized fear which held him back from intruding himself upon them, and he was about to retrace his steps quietly when the man who was seated next the balustrade turned and glanced so directly toward him that Nehal Singh thought his presence was discovered.
"I shall be only too pleased," she said. "What I have seen has made me thirst for more." "Indeed, Your Highness," Mrs. Cary broke in eagerly. "I must not forget to thank you for the really very kind assistance you lent my reckless daughter the other day. I do not know what would have happened to her if it had not been for you!" Nehal Singh looked at her with a grave wonder.
