Soyera, when asked, said that she knew of nothing that would remove the dye at once; but that if he washed his hands and face, two or three times a day, with a strong lye made from the ashes of a plant that grows everywhere on the plain, it would help to get rid of it. "I will go out, tomorrow morning, and fetch some in."
You have, by your exercises, attained the strength of manhood early; and your experience as a tiger hunter has fitted you for the post for which you are appointed, just as your diligence in exercise in arms will be of good service to you, if you come to hold military command. But you must be circumspect and, above all things, do not forget to use the dye with which Soyera has furnished you.
Though I cannot teach him the knowledge of the English, I can do much to fit him to take his place as an Englishman, when the time comes." "It is a risky business," her brother said, "but I do not say that it cannot be carried out; at any rate, since you have so decided to keep him, I can see no better plan." Two days later, Sufder came in. "So you got here safely, Soyera?"
"Anundee, you will, I am sure, join me in the welcome; and willingly give my sister and her child a place in our home?" "Assuredly. It will be pleasant for me, when you are in the fields, to have some one to talk to, and perhaps to help me about the house." Soyera saw that she was speaking sincerely. "Thank you, Anundee; you may be sure that I shall not be idle.
On arriving at Bombay they put up at a khan, in the native town and, the next morning, leaving Ramdass and Harry to wander about and look at the wonders of the city, Soyera went to the shop of a Parsee merchant, who was in the habit of supplying the canteen of the troops, contracted for supplies of forage and other matters, and carried on the business of a native banker.
I feel sure he will take me in, willingly; for he is but two years older than myself, and was always kind to me." Accordingly the next morning she retraced her steps, and had no difficulty in finding the farm of Ramdass. Choosing the time when he would be likely to be in for his dinner, Soyera walked up to the door of the house, which was standing open.
Malet has been kind enough to give such a favourable report of me that I am appointed lieutenant to the 3rd Regiment of Native Cavalry, and shall be employed as assistant to the resident at Poona, should there be fresh disturbances there." "That is good fortune, indeed," Sufder said. "Wonderfully good fortune! and I owe it all, in the first place to Soyera, and in the next to yourself.
In the meantime Harry Lindsay, who was now called Puntojee, had been living quietly on the farm of Ramdass; and no suspicion whatever had been excited in the minds of the neighbours, or of any of the people of Jooneer, that he was aught but what he seemed the son of Soyera.
The next day he went with Sufder and Soyera, who swore to their statements before the judge of the High Court. As soon as his uniform was ready, Harry went to his regiment which was encamped on the maidan, between the fort and the native town and was introduced to the colonel. "I have come to report myself, sir," he said to the colonel. "My name is Lindsay."
He is as anxious as I am to improve himself; and will, I am sure, give you no more trouble than he can help." "I will see that he is properly clothed, Mrs. Sankey," Jeemajee remarked. "I knew his father, and have a great interest in him." Mrs. Sankey chatted for some little time to Soyera; gave her her card, with her address on Malabar Hill; and then left.
