I mean to drift for a little while. I have been too too conscientious. 'Are you quite serious do you mean it? 'Indeed I do. 'And in less than a fortnight you will not go out of one's life. You will stay on you summer day! It's hard to believe in luck like that. I sent a poor devil of a sepoy a reprieve last week one knows now how he must have felt about it.
It is not for us to speak authoritatively as to the cause of the Sepoy mutiny, but we venture to express our concurrence with those who have regarded it as, in considerable measure, of Mahometan origin. The Mahometan rule was displaced by the British rule.
"What do you think of that?" inquired the Sepoy. For a moment or so Gratz did not reply. The mastery of its cutting, its magnificent bulk, its unrivaled purity overwhelmed him. "I have never seen one like it," he said finally, "if it is genuine." "Oh, you need not doubt it!" exclaimed the Sepoy, "or, if you do, you can assure yourself on that point. Now follow me.
English, Arabs, Parsees from India, Somâlese from Africa, across the gulf, sepoy soldiers, and Jews, all were to be met; and in varieties of costume for which we had not been prepared by our narrow experience of Oriental dress in Johanna.

"Now I will only detain you here till ten o'clock. Then you must disappear and not know me again until we meet at the Hotel Vittorio Emmanuele at Brindisi. Should any accident occur, you are to take the Sepoy for Bombay direct and go on to Delhi. Leave me a letter at Suez and also one at Aden, care P. and O. Company. I will ask at each of these places.
