A flaming sunset flushed the sky and bathed the ancient garden of arched bridges and twisted trees in a pinkish haze. The very shadows spelled romance and poetry. It was wise to use the charm of the hour for the beginning of my plan. I drew Sada down beside me, as we sat in a queer little play-house by the garden lake.
There is a specimen of each opposite Sada and me at table who are so generous with their company on deck, before and after meals, I have almost run out of excuses and am short on plans to avoid the heavy obligations of their eager attentions. The youth is a To-Be-Ruler of many people, a Maharajah of India. But the name is bigger than the man.
He did it so quietly that I jumped when I saw him. When our countless bows were finished, I asked in my coaxingest voice if I might see Sada. Presently she came in, dressed in Japanese clothes and beautiful even in her pallor. She was changed sad, and a little drooping.
But in the morning a flag of truce came out, borne by old Sada Sukhi, a persona grata on account of his loyalty to Nisbet and Cowper, and it was announced that the garrison, commanded in the absence of the Rajah by the Diwan Dwarika Nath, desired to surrender.
Being an Englishman, it is possible. Let him go back to England. We will keep Asa. She too is a Fujinami; and, even though she is a woman, she can be useful to the family. She will stay with us. She would not like to be poor. She has not borne a baby to this foreigner, and she is young. I think also our Sada can teach her many things." "It is of Sada that I came to speak to father," said Mr.
Told her I was making all kinds of plans for her visit. I also looked up some doubtful dates at least, my textbook on color prints said they were doubtful and referred them to Uncle for confirmation, asking that he give instructions to Sada about a certain dealer in Hiroshima who has some pictures so violent, positively I would not hang them in the cow-shed. That is, if I cared for Suky.
Then I went back to my own thoughts of the happy years that had been mine since Little Germany bade me a tearful good-by. And, too, I wanted to think out some plan whereby I can keep in touch with Sada and be friendly with her relative. Before I left the steamer, I had a surprise in the way of Uncles. Next time I will pause before I prophesy.
