True, he knew the elephants, but was he not possessed of evil spirits? He was always without rupees, too, a creature of the wild that could not seem to understand the gathering of money. As a man, according to the standards of men, he was an abject failure. "Khusru has failed to catch White-Skin, but he has lived to tell many lies about it. He comes to-night."
The word is used in the singular, both by Mir Amman and the original author, Amir Khusru according to a well-known rule in Persian syntax, viz., "a substantive accompanied by a numerical adjective dispenses with the plural termination," as "haft roz," "seven days," not "haft rozha.
He knew more about the wild animals than any mature native in the assembly, and his comments on the hunting stories were usually worth hearing. "We will not be in the honoured service of the Protector of the Poor at this time a year from now," he said. They all waited tensely. Shikara shivered. "Speak, Khusru," they urged him.
There's a man behind you! In the end, when the sport wearied, Khoda Dad Khan's brother sent a knife home between his ribs. 'Wherefore, said Khoda Dad Khan with charming simplicity, 'I am now Chief of the Khusru Kheyl! No man gainsaid him; and they all went to sleep very stiff and sore.
'My dear boy, I know all that, and more. I've represented it, and have been told that I am exhibiting "culpable and puerile prejudice." By Jove, if the Khusru Kheyl don't exhibit something worse than that I don't know the Border! The chances are that you will have the district alight on your hands, and I shall have to leave my work and help you pull through.
Yet listen to the artless babble of the Blind Mullah of Jagai, the priest of the Khusru Kheyl, sitting upon a rock overlooking the Border. Five years before, a chance-hurled shell from a screw-gun battery had dashed earth in the face of the Mullah, then urging a rush of Ghazis against half a dozen British bayonets. So he became blind, and hated the English none the less for the little accident.
Do you does the Government, I mean suppose that the Khusru Kheyl will sit quiet when they once know? What will the Mahomedan heads of villages say? How will the police Muzbi Sikhs and Pathans how will THEY work under him? We couldn't say anything if the Government appointed a sweeper; but my people will say a good deal, you know that. It's a piece of cruel folly!
These two great nobles began then to take measures for the exclusion of Prince Salím, and the succession of Prince Khusrú. To effect this purpose they had the fort of Agra, in the palace in which Akbar was lying ill, guarded by their troops. Had Akbar died at this moment his death must have given rise to a civil war, for Salím would not renounce his pretensions.
The native's eyes seemed to light. "Hai, little one, thou hast thought of what thy elders had forgotten. There is level land there, and clear. And I shall go at the first ray of dawn " "But not to-night, Khusru ?" "Nay, little sinner! Wouldst thou have me torn to pieces?" Lastly Little Shikara went to his own father, and they had a moment's talk at the outskirts of the throng.
'The Khusru Kheyl have rushed and cut up half a dozen of the coolies on Ferris's new canal-embankment; killed a couple of men and carried off a woman. I wouldn't trouble you about that Ferris is after them and Hugonin, my assistant, with ten mounted police. But that's only the beginning, I fancy.
