"Juggut Khan, the Rajput, took them, with nine of my men, and brought them in to your camp last night, sir. I naturally haven't seen them since." "Will the women know you?" "One of them will, sir." "Which one?" "Jane Emmett, sir." "Well, we'll see!" The colonel called an orderly, and sent the orderly running for Jane Emmett.
The Captain of the Escort was not over pleased to find Roy when he came in the next morning, and said curtly that the boy, having found his way on foot, must make it on foot, and that none should wait for him. To this the Râjput lad made no demur.
Seeing he was neither hurt nor indignant, she laughed at Fred, spat at him, and whipped her stallion forward in pursuit of Kagig, breaking between him and Monty to pour news in his ear. "A curse on Rustum Khan!" laughed Fred, spitting out red buds. "He didn't do his duty!" He had hardly said that when the Rajput came spurring and thundering along from the rear.
"Salaam, memsahib!" muttered the shabby Rajput. "Does any watch?" demanded the Risaldar in Hindustanee. "Aye, one." "And he?" "Is he of whom I spoke." "Where watches he?" "There is a hidden passage leading from the archway; he peeps out through a crack, having rolled back so far the stone that seals it." He held his horny fingers about an inch apart to show the distance.
That is the key of destiny, and each man holds it in his own keeping." "A simple religion," smiled the Rajput. "And therefore the best. It is the religion of Islam freed from all the controversies of rival sects and over-learned mullahs. It is the religion of my fathers and the religion of my youth, and in it I abide.
I know now that he was a Rajput though he never told me that; I know that he married a Russian noblewoman" Amber hesitated imperceptibly "that she died soon after, that he chose to live out of India and to die rather than return to it." "He was," said Labertouche, "a singular man, an exotic result of the unnatural conditions we English have brought about in India.
As he crested a little rise he saw by the growing light a big brown Isabelline bear shambling along contentedly, seeming to go no pace at all, yet gaining steadily on the sledge that was giving chase. "I will follow as fast as I can!" panted the Râjput lad breathlessly, as Foster-father, Meroo, and Old Faithful, hampered by their greater weight, ran up.
It was a trait certain to impress Roy's Rajput cousin; and Broome wondered whether Helen was alive to the disturbing possibility; whether, for all her genuine love of the East, she would acquiesce.... Only the other day, it seemed, he and she had sat together among the rocks of the dear old Cap, listening to Nevil's amazing news.
All was not lost without a mighty struggle. From those days come the tales of Rajput chivalry tales that might have been sung by the troubadours of France. Rajput maidens of noble blood scorned the throne of Muslim conquerors. Litters supposed to carry captive women poured out warriors armed to the teeth.
He promptly attacked the fortress, but without success for a long period, until he agreed to a compromise, declaring that if he could merely see the Lady Padmani in a mirror he would be contented and raise the siege. His request was granted, and, trusting to the honour of a Rajput, he entered the city unattended, and was rewarded by a sight of this Eastern Helen reflected in a mirror.
