"Yes, yes. I remember. I read your report. You didn't find anything, did you? Well. The story is now that the 'Heart of the Hills' has come to life. So the spies say." King whistled softly. "There's no guessing what it means," said the general. "Go and find out. Go and work with Yasmini.
Wondering desperately what she could do to help against armed men she suddenly snatched one of the long hat-pins that she herself had adjusted in her own hat on Yasmini's head. Yasmini hugged her close and kissed her. "Better than sister! Better than friend!" she whispered.
It did not occur to anybody to credit Yasmini with the arrangement, or with the suddenly aroused interest in smoke against the after- midnight sky. Yet, when another man entered whose disguise was a joke to any practised eye and all in the room were practised it looked to the newcomer almost as if his reception had been ready staged. He was dressed as a Mohammedan gentleman.
And now, this is what I want to say: The most dangerous individual who could possibly get that treasure would be the Princess Yasmini. There are several women here whom I might interest in keeping an eye on her Tatum's wife, and Miss Bent, and Miss O'Hara, and the Goole sisters lots of 'em. But they'd all talk.
We were generous and free Aye, a social lot were we, But they took to priests instead of us, and trouble started then!" "Peace, Maharajah sahib! Out of anger came no wise counsel yet!" Tom Tripp had done exactly what Yasmini ordered him.
And if a native gentleman had walked through the streets as this man walked, all the small boys of the bazaars would have followed him to learn what nation his might be. Yasmini seemed delighted with him. She ran toward him, curtsied to him, and called him bahadur.
Yasmini stood not two arms' lengths away, lovelier than the dead woman because of the merry life in her, young and warm, aglow, but looking like the dead woman and the woman of the frieze the woman of the lamp bowls the statue come to life, speaking to him in English more sweetly than if it had been her mother tongue. The English abuse their language.
Yasmini bears a reputation that includes her gift for dancing and her skill in song, but is not bounded thereby, Her stairs illustrated it the two flights of steep winding stairs that lead to her bewildering reception-floor; they seem to have been designed to take men's breath away, and to deliver them at the top defenseless.
He looked closer at the fingers for signs of force and suddenly caught his breath. Under the woman's flimsy sleeve was a wrought gold bracelet, smaller than that one he himself had worn in Delhi and up the Khyber exactly like the little one that Yasmini wore on her wrist in the Cavern of Earth's Drink! He raised the loose sleeve to look more closely at it.
And even with his experienced cynicism it never entered his head to suppose that Patali was the individual who warned Yasmini in advance of the preparations being made to poison her by Gungadhura's orders.
