Who killer Cock Robin that is to say, Partab Singh?" "Either Sher Singh or some emissary of his." "Not openly, then?" "No, in the night. The wound was so small that it escaped notice at first. I charged Sher Singh with the murder on suspicion merely. He may not know that the truth has been discovered." "Never show your teeth unless you can bite," said Charteris sententiously.
"An honour likely to be associated with sudden and painful death eh? But I'm game. And as your principal duty in connection with the treasury will probably be to pay out of it Sher Singh's allowance as fixed by the Ranjitgarh Durbar, I don't fancy you'll enjoy a bed of roses." Treasury.
"You think only of Sher Singh!" cried Honour hotly. "I think of poor Charley murdered, without a finger raised to save him. I want Sher Singh punished do you hear?" with a stamp of her foot "and I hope Mr Charteris will do it, and not care what orders you send him!"
The most northerly portion of the ridge described is known as the Sher Derwaza heights, which Macpherson had occupied on the morning of the 12th, and his brigade it was which furnished the little force already mentioned as charged to attempt the task of storming the Takht-i-Shah. For several hours Morgan's two mountain guns industriously shelled that peak, and then the infantry made their effort.
Well, we had better appear amongst them by way of the lions' cage and explain matters, I suppose. What d'ye think of taking the prisoners with us, and leaving everything else as it is, Hal?" "I don't see that it matters. Wouldn't it be better to make them carry out Sher Singh's body?" said Gerrard. "My dear fellow, it does matter, very much. I should say leave things exactly as they are.
"Had to do a good many things first, I'm afraid, and it wasn't very easy to find you. Case of 'None could see Valerius, And none wist where he lay. By the bye, Hal, should you say that those dangawalas of Granthis were playing fair to-day, or not? Did they fire as Sher Singh advanced?" "Oh yes, they fired," said Gerrard dreamily. "You don't mean that they fired at us?"
She faced the ready weapons defiantly, but Sher Singh, who had been sitting drooping upon the edge of the palanquin, apparently too weak either to defend himself or to interfere to prevent a massacre, now summoned strength again and interposed. "The army has spoken truth," he said.
It was quite evident that they meant it to be believed that Sher Singh was not in the city, but the actual news from the north did not support them.
"But who is to see that Sher Singh keeps his word and does not arrange a suttee?" "You and I, of course. We attend the funeral, naturally, with all our sowars, to show due honour to the deceased. By the bye, that reminds me, we should be rather an easy prey after firing the volleys. The front rank had better load with ball, and reserve their fire, and only the rear rank fire with blank.
They won't dare to try and stop us now." "Us? That sounds good. I hoped you would see the folly of ramming your head into the lion's mouth by going back to Agpur with Sher Singh." "He's uncommon anxious that I should been trying to persuade me all this time. First he followed me himself, and then he sent the fakir, and then Ibrahim Khan." "I'm not surprised.
