"I will speak to the Prince again to-day, and, as he has no right to detain me, it will be possible for me, as I confidently hope, to start with you for Karachi." "But I shall only accept the Kennedys' offer if you go with us," declared Edith in a tone of decision, which left no doubt as to her unshakable resolution. As a matter of fact, Prince Tchajawadse put no difficulties in his way.
In the same fantastic page's livery in which he had last seen him in Chanidigot, the pretended servant of his friend Prince Tchajawadse here stood quite unexpectedly before him, as though he had suddenly sprung from the earth, while the most pained consternation showed itself in his fair, expressive face.
Kennedy with the failure of his efforts, at the same expressing his sincere regret. "Then I shall try to return to England," said the old gentleman, with a sigh. "Please ask the Prince if he has any objection to my making my way by the shortest road to Karachi? Perhaps he will let me have a passport for this route." Prince Tchajawadse was quite ready to accede to this request.
"I have already thought of a way. Prince Tchajawadse had a page with him; I will be your page." "What an absurd idea! Prussian officers don't take pages with them on active service." "Never mind the name. You must have servants, like English officers; I will be your boy." "With us soldiers are told off for such duties, my dear Edith." "Then I will go with you as a soldier.
On returning from a walk through the camp, in which he did not discover anywhere a trace of Edith, back to the Russian bivouac, Heideck learnt from the mouth of Prince Tchajawadse that the Maharajah of Chanidigot had met with a slight accident in the hunting excursion that day, and was under surgical treatment in his tent, whither he had been brought.
The losses of the sepoy regiment could not at present be approximately determined, as the battle had extended over too wide an area. Prince Tchajawadse, although showing the same friendly feeling towards Heideck, now adopted more the attitude of his military superior.
"Shall she then be handed over helpless to the bestiality of this dissolute scoundrel?" Prince Tchajawadse shrugged his shoulders, while at the same time he cast a strange side-glance at Heideck, who was riding beside him, which seemed to say "How dense you are, my dear fellow! And how slow of understanding!"
She was very sad, but when I asked her to accompany me to the sahib, she said she did not want to see him and the lady again; she sent her respects to the sahib, and begged him to remember his promise that he would say nothing to Prince Tchajawadse of her having been here." Heideck and Edith exchanged a significant look.
Prince Tchajawadse quartered his infantry and artillery in the English barracks, and marched with the horsemen into the crescent-shaped bazaar, the town proper, surrounded by numerous villas, scattered over the hills and in the midst of pleasure-gardens.
This so-called Georgi could be none other but a child of the Caucasian Mountains; and Tchajawadse also, as his name showed, was a scion of those old Caucasian dynastic houses which in days of yore had played a role in that mountain land, which Russia had so slowly, and with such difficulty, finally subjugated.
