Dick used to return home every evening tired out, but Tom Tripe, keeping strictly sober, slept in the fort and said nothing of importance to any one. He looked drawn and nervous, as if something had terrified him, but public opinion ascribed that to the "snakes" on the night of the coronation. Then about sundown one evening Tom Tripe galloped in a great hurry to Utirupa's palace.
"It is one thing," she told Tess, "to determine to be rid of cobras; but another to spurn them with your hand and foot. They bite!" Then again, it would not have suited her to slip quietly into Utirupa's palace and assume the reins of hidden influence without the English knowing it.
Utirupa's eventual threat to lead a reform movement in Rajputana brought them to see reason, however, and they eventually compromised, with a stipulation that the public should not be told how much had been omitted. There was feasting in the streets for a week before the great inauguration ceremony.
And while the hall resounded to the crash and clangor of applause she let go Utirupa's hand, bowed low to him, and vanished through the gilded door in the midst of her attendant women. For two hours after that she was the center of a vortex of congratulation questions whisperings laughter and advice, while the women flocked about her and she introduced Tess to them one by one.
For the present I shall seem to play into their hands, but they know that I despise them!" So great preparations were made for a royal wedding. And when Samson heard that Yasmini was to be Utirupa's bride he was sufficiently disgusted, even to satisfy Yasmini, who was no admirer of his. Sita Ram's account of Samson's rage, as he explained the circumstance to Willoughby de Wing, was almost epic.
If so we whiled your leisure And the puppets gave you pleasure, Then say the word, good people, and we'll set the stage again. And that is the whole story Smoking a cigarette lazily on Utirupa's palace roof, Yasmini reached for Tess's hand. "Come nearer. See take this. It is the value, and more, of the percentage of the silver that your husband would not take."
