But I say, Gunpat Rao came from the Vindhas, you know." It dawned upon Skag that this wasn't monologue, but conversation; also that it had some vague bearing upon his own affairs. The pause was very slight, when the Deputy resumed: "Yes, Gunpat Rao is from the Vindha Hills, within the life-time of one man. . . . Mitha Baba is as fast, but she won't do it; so there's an end.
"Did I not hear the Deputy Commissioner Sahib say that he came from the Vindhas, and that Neela Deo is from High Himalaya?" Skag asked. The mahout's face turned back; his trailing lids did not widen in the fierce sunlight. It was the face of a man still singing. "The kinship is of honour, not of blood, Sahib," he answered.
Even then he belonged to one of the little brotherhoods of the Vindhas lesser, you know, in relation to the great brotherhoods of the Himalayas. In fact it is from the Vindha Hills that they move on when they are called up the great way and beyond " Another of Carlin's themes always the dream in her mind of climbing to the heights.

To-night Skag found to his wonder that the mystic had spoken the truth. He cooked the supper joyously and shared it with Nels, talking to him often and answering himself for the Dane.
This is what I mean: The wireless instruments of the Swastika Line answer to one pitch; the ships of the Blue Toll to another. . . . But I've seen things done yes, I've seen things done in this man's India. . . . I saw a man from one of the little brotherhoods of the Vindhas breathe a nest of cobras into repose; also I have seen other brothers pass through places where the deadly little karait is supposed to watch and wait and turn red-eyed."
Cadman sat long meditating, before he spoke at all; then it was like thinking aloud: "A mystic brother of the Vindhas one with the old man outside; not leaving these little semi-primitives alone identifies himself with them that's good business!"
