There's Guinea-worm in most of the wells on that route. Then the Nilghai, despairing of peace, bellowed like a fog-horn and beat upon the table with both hands. 'But what becomes of Torpenhow? said Dick, in the silence that followed. 'Torp's in abeyance just now. He's off love-making somewhere, I suppose, said the Nilghai. 'He said he was going to stay at home, said the Keneu.
'Well, said the Nilghai to the two pairs of shoulders, 'have you never seen this place before? A steam-tug on the river hooted as she towed her barges to wharf. Then the boom of the traffic came into the room. Torpenhow nudged Dick. 'Good place to bank in bad place to bunk in, Dickie, isn't it?
I'll slate him ponderously in the Cataclysm. 'Good luck to you; but I fancy nothing short of a crowbar would make Dick wince. His soul seems to have been fired before we came across him. He's intensely suspicious and utterly lawless. 'Matter of temper, said the Nilghai. 'It's the same with horses.
'You'll find that wardrobe-case very much out of tune, Torpenhow said to the Nilghai. 'It's never touched except by you. 'A piece of gross extravagance, Dick grunted. 'The Nilghai only comes when I'm out. 'That's because you're always out. Howl, Nilghai, and let him hear.

He ought to be up here this evening. I see the comparison perfectly. You should have kept clear of all that man-millinery. Serves you right; and I hope it will unsettle your mind. 'It won't.

It's more easy though to get rid of three women than a piece of one's life and surroundings. 'But a woman can be began Dick, unguardedly. 'A piece of one's life, continued Torpenhow. 'No, she can't.
Younghusband very kindly gave us a letter to his neighbor, the Rajah of Kahrigur, who furnished us with shikaris, beaters, bullock carts, two ponies and an elephant. We had varied success the first three weeks, killing a bear, several nilghai, wild boar and deer.
'News! great news! he wrote. 'The Nilghai knows, and so does the Keneu. We're all back on Thursday. Get lunch and clean your accoutrements. Dick showed Bessie the letter, and she abused him for that he had ever sent Torpenhow away and ruined her life.
