It is a long march down to Rangoon from Ramoo; and I believe that he will remain where he is, until he sees how matters go at Rangoon. As soon as your people are driven out, he will be joined by a great army, and will march to Dacca. There our troops from the north will join him; and then he will go to India, we think."
In the first place, if that bullet had gone half an inch lower, you would not have been one of the four white survivors of that ugly business at Ramoo; then you were lucky that they did not chop off your head, either when they first took you, or when they got you to Ava.
It is a heavy loss to you too." The Hindoo rose slowly, the tears streaming down his face. "He was a good master," he said, "and I loved him just as I loved the Colonel, sahib. Ramoo would have given his life for him."
When I recovered I was seized with the bitterest remorse that I had killed one I loved, but I seemed to hear the voice of the god saying, 'You have done well, Ramoo. I am your great master, and you are bound to my service.
He is an escaped prisoner, who has made his way down from Ava through the enemy's lines. "This is Mr. Brooke. He was serving as an officer with the native levy, at Ramoo, and was reported as killed. However, he was fortunately only stunned and, being the only officer found alive, was sent by Bandoola as a prisoner to Ava.
The first sight that greeted him was that of about a dozen fires arranged in a circle round about the tiny camp, in the ruddy-yellow, flickering glare of which he saw Mafuta, Jantje, and 'Nkuku flitting hither and thither, tending the fires and feeding them from an enormous stack of thorns and branches piled up near the wagon, while Ramoo Samee, the Indian groom, stood with the horses, talking to them, caressing them, and soothing their excitement by every means in his power.
He left all his property to his son Mark, with the exception of a hundred pounds to his niece to buy a mourning ring or brooch or other ornament in memory of him, and fifty pounds to Mrs. Cunningham for a similar purpose, as a token of his great esteem for her character, and 200 pounds to Ramoo for his faithful services to his brother and himself.
He puzzled for a long time over this, till at last he fell asleep. He was roused by Ramoo entering the room. "What is it, Ramoo?" "Me not know, sahib. Massa Thorndyke's door shut. Me no able to make him hear." "That is curious, Ramoo," Mark said, jumping hastily out of bed. "I will be with you in a minute."
His brother and Ramoo laid him on the sofa almost insensible. "Run and get some water, Ramoo," John Thorndyke said.
He slipped on his trousers, coat, and slippers, and then accompanied Ramoo to his father's door. He knocked again and again, and each time more loudly, his face growing paler as he did so. Then he threw himself against the door, but it was solid and heavy. "Fetch me an ax, Ramoo," he said. "There is something wrong here."
