A dozen native policemen, with their rifles and bundles, shouldered into the press of Punjabi farmers, Sikh craftsmen, and greasy-locked Afreedee pedlars, escorting with all pomp Martyn's uniform case, water-bottles, ice-box, and bedding-roll. They saw Faiz Ullah's lifted hand, and steered for it. 'My Sahib and your Sahib, said Faiz Ullah to Martyn's man, 'will travel together.
Riding at a foot-pace, Faiz Ullah by his stirrup, Scott came to William in the brown-calico riding-habit, sitting at the dining-tent door, her hands in her lap, white as ashes, thin and worn, with no lustre in her hair. There did not seem to be any Mrs. Jim on the horizon, and all that William could say was: 'My word, how pulled down you look! 'I've had a touch of fever.

"I can't come into camp in this state. I won't," he replied pettishly. "Well, you are rather a sight, but from what I gathered there it seemed to me they'd be glad to see you under any conditions.

Turning from his friend, Mir Ilderim Dost Mahommed Mir Hafiz Ullah Khan, a fine Pathan, "Loyal, Madam! Loyal!
Faiz Ullah opined it was the will of God that these foreigners should die, and it remained only to give orders to burn the dead. None the less there was no reason why the Sahib should lack his comforts, and Faiz Ullah, a campaigner of experience, had picked up a few lean goats and had added them to the procession.
She will obey his orders." Jim collapsed where he sat; Faiz Ullah and the two policemen grinned; and Scott's orders to the cartmen flew like hail. "That is the custom of the Sahibs when truth is told in their presence," said Faiz Ullah. "The time comes that I must seek new service.
It is our man's woman. She will obey his orders." Jim collapsed where he sat; Faiz Ullah and the two policemen grinned; and Scott's orders to the cartmen flew like hail. "That is the custom of the Sahibs when truth is told in their presence," said Faiz Ullah. "The time comes that I must seek new service.
