"And on the other side?" "There is a rather better path that by which the sirkar's troops once came although it has been greatly obstructed since. It is two days' march from here to reach it. Be warned a last time, sahib little hakim be warned and go back!" "Thou bird of ill omen!" laughed King. "Must thou croak from every rock we rest on?"
He lay belly-downward on the rock and crawled like an insect the remainder of the way. And as if aware of his intention Ismail started to hurry on while there was yet a yard or two to crawl, and anger not being a load worth carrying, nor revenge a thing permitted to interfere with the sirkar's business, King let both die.
"But where were ye when she promised?" "At Ali's. All of us at Ali's held for debt. We sent and begged of her. She sent word back by a woman that one of the sirkar's men shall free us and send us home. So we waited, eating shame and little else, at Ali's. At last came a sahib in a great rage, who ordered irons put on our wrists and us marched hither.
He saw her bite her lips with chagrin, and the look she flashed to his face was anything but kind and tender. "Arre!" she laughed derisively. "And of what account is this frail, tottering Sirkar's will besides the Will of the Body? Of what avail its dicta against the rulings of the Bell? Thou knowest " "Pardon, I know nothing. I have told thee, Ranee, that I am not Har Dyal Rutton."
I am to bring you safe to Jundhra!" She held her hand out and he took it like a cavalier, bending until he could touch her fingers with his lips. "What is the meaning of this hurrying of the guns to Jundhra, Risaldar?" "Who knows, memsahib! The orders of the Sirkar come, and we of the service must obey. I am thy servant and the Sirkar's!"
