And as for money, if thou hast gold, give him of it, and if not, give him silver; and if thou hast none, take no thought, for the freedom of the spirit is better than the obesity of the body." "Bishmillah! Thou speakest with the tongue of wisdom, old man," said Shere Ali; "nevertheless a few rupees " "Fear nothing," broke in Isaacs.
"But, as a matter of fact these East Indians are often carriers of bubonic plague, you know, and it's very contagious. Of course neither Shere Ali nor Singa Phut may have had the germs about them, but I am a bit squeamish when it comes to contagious diseases of that nature, and I wouldn't like to scratch myself on that watch."
"I suppose that is what I missed," said Dewes, "not the noise, not the mere crowd you can get both on an English racecourse but the colour." And suddenly before Shere Ali's eyes there rose a vision of the Paddock at Newmarket during a July meeting.
These two things fight together in me as the snakes fight in the spring. The water comes out of my eyes; yet I laugh while it falls. Why? I am two Mowglis, but the hide of Shere Khan is under my feet. All the jungle knows that I have killed Shere Khan. Look look well, O Wolves! Ahae!

"What's your name?" he asked. "Shere Ali," replied the young Prince. "That won't do," said Linforth, and he contemplated the boy solemnly. "I shall call you Sherry-Face," he said.
Sir Frederick Roberts, who had been suffering from fever for some days, was able to leave his dhooly and mount his horse in time to meet General Primrose and his officers to the east of Deh Khoja. The troops halted and breakfasted outside the Shikapore gate, while General Roberts entered the city and paid a visit to the Wali Shere Ali Khan.
"By nothing more dangerous than a hand upon your bridle and an excuse that you might do me some small service at Olvera." "An excuse, a falsity! To be sure," said Shere bitterly. "Yet you still stand before the door though you know the letter will not be yours. Is the trick after all so harmless?
