I seek but to serve thee in thus daring thy displeasure. Am I a fool or I say it in all respect, my lord art thou?" "From the look of things, I fancy the epithet fits us both, Salig Singh.

Am I to be blamed for taking this for a sign of thy repentance?... Hazoor, the Body is patient, the Will benignant and long-suffering. Still is the Gateway open." "Is that what you wanted to tell me, Salig Singh?" "What else? Am I to believe thee a madman, weary of life, that thou shouldst venture hither with a heart hardened against the Will of the Body?

My troubles begin with a State banquet to-morrow that I'd give much to miss; however, I'll have Farrell for company." "I'm glad to be here," said Amber thoughtfully. Could it be possible that the proposed abdication of Salig Singh in favour of his son were merely a cloak to a conspiracy to restore to power the house of Rutton?

Amber turned away to rejoin Salig Singh by the cistern. But the Rajput was not there; and, presently, another path tempting him to unlawful exploration, he yielded and sauntered aimlessly away. A sudden corner cloaked with foliage brought him to a little open space, a patch of lawn over which a canopy had been raised. Beneath this, a woman sat alone. He halted, thunderstruck.

I am no child; what I know I know. If thou art indeed not Har Dyal Rutton, how is it that thou dost wear upon thy finger the signet of thy house" Salig Singh indicated the emerald which Amber had forgotten "the Token sent thee by the Bell? If thou are not my lord the rightful Maharana of Khandawar, how is it that thou hast answered the summons of the Bell?

Miss Farrell came by the same train, but Salig Singh was in too great a hurry to get home to pay any attention to her, and I, knowing you'd be along, arranged that tonga accident with Ram Nath. He bribed his brother tonga-wallah to bring it about." "Thank you," said Amber from his heart. Labertouche impatiently waved the interruption aside.

"As for me," continued Amber, "I suspect I'm the most hopeless ass in the three Presidencies, if that's any comfort to you, Salig Singh. Now what d'you want with me?" A shadowy smile softened the blackness of the Rajput's wrath. He shrugged and moved his hands slightly, exposing their palms, subtly signifying his submission. "Thou art my overlord," he said quietly, with a silky deference.

"Then mine eyes have played me false, hazoor. Shabash!" Salig Singh bowed resignedly. "Well, then, what do you want? Why have you brought me here?" "Why didst thou come? There was no force used: thou didst come of thine own will thine own will, which is the will of the Body, hazoor!" "Oh, damnation! Why d'you insist on beating round the bush forever? You know well why I came.

"Get up," he said; "get up and stand over there by the wall and don't be a silly ass." "Hazoor!" There was reproach in Salig Singh's accents; but he obeyed, rising and retreating to the further wall, there to hold himself at attention.

Thou art only Salig Singh, Maharana of Khandawar, but I am Naraini, a free woman." "Thou !" Rage choked the Rajput. "Thou," he sputtered "thou art " "Softly, Heaven-born, softly lest I loose a thunderbolt for thy destruction. Is it wise to forget that Naraini holds thy fate in the hollow of her hands?" She sat forward, speaking swiftly and with malice.
