Samson with a look of baffled fury behind the monocle, but a smile for appearance's sake, joined them at that minute and Utirupa seemed to take delight in so manipulating the sealed envelope that the commissioner could only see the back of it. The prince was an extremely handsome young man, as striking in one way as Samson in another.
If there is any valuable furniture you'd like removed, we'll waive that point; but on the terms of the contract we exchange the fort, with the guns and whatever else is there except the actual harness and supplies of the garrison, against the land and palace and whatever it contains except furniture." Utirupa smiled perhaps because the guns in that fort were known to date from before the Mutiny.
"My contract reads gold!" he said. "A percentage of all gold. There's not a word in it of silver. Who'd ever have thought of finding silver, anyhow, in this old mountain?" "Your percentage of the gold will make you rich," said Utirupa. "But you shall take silver too. Without you we might have found nothing for years to come." "A contract's a contract," Dick answered.
"Yes, Utirupa is a very fine young fellow and a good sportsman, too, I'm told." "There is no reason why Utirupa should recognize the contract between Gungadhura and the American. It was a private contract no official sanction. If Gungadhura isn't in position to continue it " "Exactly. Well good-by. I'll look forward to a good report from you."
She judged it probable that he had seen through her whole plot in the drear light of revelation that so often comes to stricken men, and in that case her own life was likely in danger every second he was still at liberty. But she sent word to Utirupa, too, to be on the alert.
It was common knowledge that Yasmini was in the camp, but she was always supposed to be tented safely on the outskirts, with her women and a guard of watchful servants all about her. There was no risk of an affront to her in any case; it was known that Utirupa would attend to that.
" Gunga Khatiawara Dhuleep Rhakapushi Utirupa Singh Maharajah of Sialpore!" Two hundred swords sprang clear again. The chandeliers rattled and the beams shook to the thunder of two hundred throats. "Rung Ho!" they roared. "Rung Ho!" "Rung Ho!" bringing down their right feet with a stamp all together that shook the building.
But things got under way at last. Utirupa led the way in a golden howdah on Akbar, the biggest elephant in captivity and the very archetype of sobriety ever since his escapade with Tom Tripe's rum. Akbar was painted all over with vermilion and blue decorations, and looked as if butter would not melt in his mouth.
"Utirupa," answered Topham. "There was never any doubt of that. We've got Collins to captain us, and Latham and Cartwright, besides me. We'll give him the game of his life!" "That settles quite an important point," said Samson. "The polo tournament after it, rather is the time to talk to Utirupa.
I've got to go now and summon a durbar of Gungadhura's state officers, and tell them in confidence what's happened. I shall hint pretty broadly that Utirupa is our man, and then ask them which prince they'd like to have succeed." "Good!" said De Wing. "Nothing like tact! Why not meet me at the club for a whisky and soda afterward?"
