Speculation, which may or may not be partially informed, concentrates upon the scheme of a new Irish Advisory Council. I may offer a more detailed sketch of this scheme, of which I will only say that some responsible Irish members think it is very likely to be near the mark. An Irish Council, if created now, would probably be an advisory body, resembling the Viceroy's Council in India.
These are the grounds upon which, by the way, Lord Morley cannot possibly justify the appointment of Mr. Clark as Member for Commerce and Industry, for a young subordinate official, however brilliant, of an English public Department cannot bring into the Viceroy's Executive Council either special or general knowledge of Indian affairs.
But her own declaration of her innocence will not suffice for me. She must have as much proof of her innocence as I have of her guilt. Go to Sitta Nefysseh. You will find her in the house of Sheik Hesseyni." With a profound bow the sheiks withdrew from the viceroy's apartment and repaired to the house of Sheik Hesseyni.
A couple of days passed. During this time the dissectors had secured from corruption the remains of the viceroy's son; but Sarah continued in prison, awaiting her trial, certain that she would be condemned. Kama was sitting, also, confined in her cage; people feared her, for she was infected with leprosy.
He had watched with anxiety the viceroy's movements; and was now convinced that it was time to act, and that, if he would not be unseated himself, he must dislodge his formidable rival.
On 26th June he visited that Viceroy's camp, and found that his position extended over from twenty-four to thirty miles, and that he commanded 80,000 troops, who were, however, badly armed. The troops were well fed, but ill paid, and at last confident of success.
TELL. I want my right hand when I want my bow. WALTER. Where, father, are you going? TELL. To grand-dad, boy To Altdorf. Will you go? WALTER. Ay, that I will! HEDWIG. The viceroy's there just now. Go not to Altdorf. TELL. He leaves to-day. HEDWIG. Then let him first be gone, Cross not his path. You know he bears us grudge. TELL. His ill-will cannot greatly injure me.
Our consul-general, knowing this, had been willing to let us see how far the thing could go. The sun was by this time low, and the time for our train had quite arrived. So we left the house of our entertainer to walk the short distance to the station. On the way we met the horses of one of the viceroy's squadrons going to water.
The town has improved somewhat of late; the viceroy's château, which had become much dilapidated, has been restored, and portions of the desert, irrigated from the canal, have been transformed into fine gardens. Though the climate is agreeable and the air dry, it is not likely to become a pleasure resort.
There is a third demand that, if there is a Hindu on the Viceroy's Executive Council a subject on which I will venture to say something to your Lordships before I sit down there should be two Indian members on the Viceroy's Council and one should be a Mahomedan. Well, as I told them and as I now tell your Lordships, I see no chance whatever of meeting their views in that way.
