The all-conquering Kaushîtaki adores the sun when rising, having put on the sacrificial cord, having brought water, and having thrice sprinkled the water-cup, saying: 'Thou art the deliverer, deliver me from sin. In the same manner he adores the sun when in the zenith, saying: 'Thou art the highest deliverer, deliver me highly from sin. In the same manner he adores the sun when setting, saying: 'Thou art the full deliverer, deliver me fully from sin. Thus he fully removes whatever sin he committed by day and by night.

Rajah scattered the seeds about, spurned the banana-tip, tilted the water-cup and swashbuckled generally. By and by, above the clack-clack of wheels and rails, came a crooning song. The baggage-man looked up from his way-book and lowered his pipe. He saw the little green bird pause and begin to keep time with its head. It was the Urdu lullaby James used to sing.

Joe, who was sitting by me assisting with the water-cup, gazed into the intruder's face a moment, then closed upon my arm with a grip as if he'd break it. "Allah! Mahmoud Bey!" he whispered.

Who can describe the song of a bird?
