"Aye, that I knew of course, Huzoor. How can I deceive thee? But thee I knew not; though the elephant Shiva-ji did, even in his madness. It is not my fault. I am not of this country. I am a man of the Punjaub. I know naught of the gods of Bengal."
Shiva-ji, mayhap, is hungry and needs his meal of flesh." "Ai! sahib, say not so," wailed the terror-stricken man. "He has feasted well today. With my own eyes I saw him feed on Man Singh the Rajput." Natives believe that an elephant, when it seizes in its mouth the limbs of a man that it has killed and is about to tear in pieces, eats his flesh.
Knowest thou, O Maharaj, that the girl thou dost desire loves him? But an hour ago I heard her tell him that she wished to speak with him alone," said Chunerbutty. "Alone with him? The shameless one! Curses on him! Let him die," cried the jealous Rajah, his fright forgotten. The Dewan smiled. "There was no need to fear the cry of that elephant," he said. "It was your favourite, Shiva-ji.
The man addressed, a grey-bearded Mussulman, replied: "Shiva-ji is bad today. I fear him greatly." "Is it the madness of the dhantwallah?" "It is the madness." And the speaker cracked his finger-joints to avert evil luck. Dinner was not a very jovial meal among the English guests that night. Much to their relief the Rajah did not come in to them.
