"No, no, thank you," he said. "I am going back to school, and some day back to India; but I should like to come and see you and the elephant again." "Of course you would, sir, and come you shall," cried Ramball. "Perpetual passes! You don't want no pass.
"Well done, sir!" cried Ramball. "Thank you, sir. You'll shake hands with me, won't you?" "Oh yes," said Singh quietly; "I'll shake hands," and he extended his own. "You are a gentleman and no mistake," cried the man. "I say, think that offer of mine over. I'll make it worth your while. I will, honour bright!" Singh shook his head gravely, and there was a mocking smile upon his lip.
It was while the Doctor was delivering an impromptu disquisition upon the peculiarities of the one-horned rhinoceros and the slight resemblance given by the folds of its monstrous hide to the shell of a turtle, that Ramball followed the two boys and made signs to them to come to the other end of the great van-walled booth, when he asked them if they had considered his proposition.
Here, one on yer run off and fetch the longest cart-rope. This 'ere gentleman would like to have a try." The boys were roaring with laughter by this time, the mathematical master's parasites joining in as heartily as Glyn and Singh. "Don't be rude, fellow," said Morris. "Don't be rude?" cried Ramball, who was fuming with disappointment and rage. "Rude yourself.
"Hah-h-h-h-ah!" cried Singh, and the great creature ceased swinging the bucket to and fro, and dropped it on the hay. "Come, Singh, we have had enough of this," cried Glyn impatiently. "Let's get back, or we shall be having the Doctor sending to see what has become of us." "Don't you be afraid about that, young gentlemen," cried Ramball. "I'll speak up for you both."
The man wiped his face with his muddy hand and uttered a low groan. "Well, go on," cried Ramball. "What next?" "Don't hurry me, master, please," said the man piteously. "I'm shook all to pieces, and feel that freckened that I could sit down and cry.
Phoompf snorted the tyrant, and immediately went on picking up and scattering the hay all around it, thickly covering the grass. "Well, I suppose we had better get down now, hadn't we?" cried Glyn. "Yes, sir no, sir. Just wait a little bit, please," cried Ramball. "You're a-keeping of him quiet; only I don't want this 'ere to be made a free gratus exhibition for everybody to see.
The two keepers obeyed promptly, and hurried away, while one of the waiters sent the scared carter out into the kitchen. "That's 'im, sir," said Ramball; "and if the young gents would just give me a hand to make things easy " "Yes, yes," said the Colonel; "but from what I know of elephants, that great brute may go wandering about through the country for half the night.
"Oh, I couldn't help it, sir," cried the boy, and before he could say more there was another loud crack of the whip as Ramball made his way round behind his rebellious beast and shouted at him to "Come out of that."
"Ah, I wish you could see him, sir," continued Ramball, dabbing his head pleasantly with his yellow handkerchief. "Bah Klay is quite an addition to my show, and the people come in hundreds to see him and the Rajah alone. It was him himself as came to me one day and proposed it." "What, the Rajah?" cried Glyn. "The Rajah! Tchah! What are you talking about? No; Bah Klay.
