Why hadn't Mr. Falkirk returned too? Staying with Reo, perhaps, until she came, and she could not go, and could not ask. And now, of course, the Powders would just stay on, supplementing their lunch to bear Mr. Rollo company. Perhaps, though, it was just as well they were here when he came. Because she knew she ought to be furiously angry with him, and somehow that was never a rôle she could play.
Resuming our journey in the morning, we descended the other side of the mountain, and entered the province of Armenia, which is under the dominion of Uzun-Hassan . In the evening we were conducted to a fort named Reo, which stands in the plain, between a deep river and a high mountain, and which is garrisoned by Turks in the service of Uzun-Hassan, but the neighbouring village is inhabited by Armenians.
Fresh air, and action soon brought the girl up to concert pitch herself; and she went on like a very sprite, along a side wood path, avoiding the main approach, and so gained the lodge by a side door; and in a minute more stood by the bedside of her faithful old retainer. Hazel never knew at what cost to himself Reo managed to put out one hand far enough to receive her dainty fingers.
'Well, you have got to see her a great many times, said the girl, speaking fast because it was not easy to speak at all. 'I am coming to sing to you, and read to you, and to do all sorts of things. And with a smile like a stray sunbeam she left the room, and after a minute with Mrs. Reo which straightway made her over, 'as good as two, Hazel flitted away up the hill again, as far as to Mr.
It was a sort of look before which a woman's eyes fall. 'Reo is not seriously hurt, he said softly, when this point had been reached. She bowed her head. 'So Dr. Maryland brought word. At last the hope. 'He is only a good deal bruised. No bones broken, nor any other harm done. It might have been worse; and so the messenger who first came did not alarm us for nothing.
The Rajahs of Mysore and Tanjore are, I have learned, already in communication with Pondicherry; and will, I believe, shortly acknowledge the son of Chunda Sahib, whom Dupleix has declared ruler of the Carnatic. Murari Reo has already openly joined the French. Their influence in the Deccan is now so great that Bussy may be said to rule there.
Leaving Reo with my new guide on the 26th of July, we ascended a mountain, and came on the other side to a plain surrounded by hills, where we found a village inhabited by Turks, near which we had to pass the night in the open air, though the inhabitants treated us with decent civility.
Rollo heard of my going, and followed me there with Primrose and Reo and the carriage, and made me come back. She had gone on, throwing in details, as if to prevent their being called for. Now the scarlet flush with which the last words were spoken faded away, and she was silent and rather pale. I suppose Mr. Falkirk had done his breakfast. If not, he lost the last part of it.
How that name came up at every turn. 'Those trees are so big! said Hazel with a shiver. 'I do not see how you ever got out again, Reo. 'Never should, my little lady, said Reo, 'only that there was somewhat between me and the tree. 'Between you and the tree? said Hazel. 'Do you mean another tree, that kept it off? 'No, little lady, said Reo, 'I mean the Lord's hand.
The contest was too unequal. Had the British force been provided with field pieces, they might have gained the day; but, after fighting with great bravery, they were forced to fall back; with a loss of twenty English and two officers killed and many more wounded, while the Sepoys suffered equally severely. One of Clive's messengers reached Murari Reo, the Mahratta chief of Gutti.
