Joseph Fowke, Mahrajah Nundcomar, Roopnarain Chowdry, and the Ranny of Burdwan. "It appears incontestably upon the records that the charges preferred by the Ranny against me proceeded from the office of Mr. Fowke.
He danced till his legs and his neck were as one high perpendicular pole and his body a mere whorl of feathers spinning round it, driven by the flapping of his wings. "He is making an almighty fool of himself," said Ranny. "What does he do it for, Daddy?" "Let's ask the keeper." And they asked him. "'E's a Emu, that's what 'e is," said the keeper.
She felt his coat to see what resistance it would offer to the rain. It offered none. It made no pretense about it. "It'll be soaked, and it 'll never be the same again," she wailed. But Ranny remained godlike in his calm. There was still one and sixpence of his sovereign left. "You can keep your hat on. We're going to take a cab."
In fact, Ranny, having settled the affair so entirely to his own satisfaction, could no longer perceive any necessity for caution, and rushed on it recklessly at supper; though experience had taught him to avoid all unpleasant subjects at the table. The unpleasantness soaked through into the food, as it were, and made it more unappetizing and more deleterious than ever.
With her eternal instinct for suppression she fought against it, she refused to take it in. He felt himself unequal to pressing it on her more than that. "Would she go there all that way by herself, Ranny?" she brought out at last. "By herself? Not much!" "Well how " And still she would not face the thing straight enough to say, "How did she go, then?"
"Mercier not in?" he asked, sternly. "Not yet," said Ranny. And as he said it he possessed himself very gently of the measuring-glass and bottle. "What is it?" "Tincture of strophanthus, sodæ bicarb., and spirits of chloroform. Just you mind how you handle it." "Right-O!" said Ranny. The chemist's small, iron-gray eyes were fixed on him with severity and resentment. "How much?" said Ranny.
The fathers generally take out grants in the names of their sons: and the Ranny Bhowanny, possessing the zemindary of Radshi, an old lady of the first rank and family in India, was stripped of part of her zemindary, and it was given to Lucknaut Nundy, the son of Mr. Here is an argument drawn from the practice of Mr. Hastings.
There would be absolutely nothing of Ranny left over for his mother, except the affection he had always felt for her, which, for a woman of Mrs. Ransome's temperament, was the least thing that she claimed. Her instinct had divined Winny infallibly, not only as a wife to Ranny, but as a mother. A mother Winny was and would be to him far more than if she had used her womanhood to bear him children.
"We always want to buy a farm. We look at every one we hear is for sale. But they all cost too much." "This one won't. It's a bargain-counter farm. A house and fifteen acres. You can get it for six thousand dollars if you'll buy it to-day." "All right; we'll take it," cried Mr. Ranny gaily. "Lead us to it." The quest for the farm became so absorbing that the wild flowers were forgotten.
Ransome took the parcel from his son's hand, turned it round and round under the gaslight, laid it down, and dismissed it with a flick as of contempt for his incompetence. At that Ranny gave way and giggled. Ten minutes later he and his mother stood in the doorway of the back parlor and watched the master's superb and solitary ascent to his bedroom on the first floor back.
