"Naturally, I am prejudiced in favour of this treaty, for the handing over of the country from Amboor to Caroor, with all the passes and forts, will set us free at Tripataly from the danger of being again overrun and devastated by Mysore.
He will, therefore, go simply as an officer of my staff, attached for the present to your command. He has asked me to allow him to take with him twenty men, belonging to the troop of his uncle, the Rajah of Tripataly.
It had originally been intended to get rid of the clothes, after starting, but Annie had asked for them to be taken on. "I can change again, before I get to Tripataly," she said. "I should not like to appear before your mother, for the first time, dressed as a boy." And Dick had at once fallen in with her wishes.
"'Tis forty-six years back, and I was but a boy of twelve; but six years later I was here, for our rajah was on the side of the English, although Tripataly was, and is now, under the Nabob of Arcot.
Ibrahim had also purchased two very large, dark blankets, that could be used for a temporary shelter. Surajah now felt quite at home, for he was engaged in the same sort of duty he performed at Tripataly; and more than one pair of dark eyes glanced admiringly at the two young officers, as they rode down to the ford.
"If you have seen anything that you want to buy, sahib, tell me, and I will go and get it for you. Then you will not be cheated." The start for Tripataly was made at daybreak. Dick and his mother drove, in an open carriage that had been hired for the journey. The Rajah rode beside it, or cantered on ahead. His escort followed the vehicle. The luggage had been sent off, two days before, by cart.
"I am dreaming this. I shall wake presently, and you will be gone." "It is quite true, Father. Mother is down at Tripataly, waiting for me to bring you to her." With a hoarse cry the sailor reeled, and would have fallen, had not Dick caught him and allowed him to sink gradually to the ground; where he lay, half supported by one of the bales.
I have heard from one of our people, who is a servant in the Palace, that you stand in high favour." "We have brought you down these two caskets of gems," Dick said. "They were given us by the ladies of the harem, and many of the stones, Surajah thinks, are very valuable. We don't know what to do with them, and wanted to know whether you could arrange to send them down to Tripataly for us."
In a few minutes Annie joined them, and the talk then turned upon India, and many questions were asked as to their friends at Tripataly. "I suppose by this time, Annie at least, I hope I may still call you Annie?" "If you call me anything else, I shall not answer," she said indignantly. "Well, I was going to say, I suppose you have got a good deal beyond words of two letters, now?"
