"Have no fear, sahiba. Thou and I are friends." She did not answer, for words would not come. Besides, she was beginning to realize that words would be of little help to her.
It was not fear now that swept over her so much as wonder at herself. Jaimihr detected something different in her mental attitude, and, since almost any change means weakness to the Oriental mind, he was quick to try to take advantage of it. He guessed right at the first attempt. "And what wilt thou do here, sahiba? When I am gone, and there is none here to love thee " "Peace!" she commanded.
Or leave me in this cell until my men come to rescue me. The last would be the simplest way! Or it would be enough to help me escape and wait until I have done my share at conquering the British. Then I could come and claim thee! Choose, sahiba; there are many ways, though they all end in one goal." "If I am the price of your allegiance," said Rosemary, "then I will pay the price.
The old woman was invisible. "Will you leave that body to lie there in the dust and sun?" she asked indignantly. "I am no vulture, or jackal, or hyena, sahiba!" he smiled. "I do not eat carrion!" He seemed to think that that was a very good retort, for he showed his wonderful white teeth until his handsome face was the epitome of self-satisfied amusement.
Has the Sahiba made a young man of thee by her cookery? He peered at the cross-legged figure, outlined jet-black against the lemon-coloured drift of light. So does the stone Bodhisat sit who looks down upon the patent self-registering turnstiles of the Lahore Museum. The lama held his peace.
Didst thou not lose the picture of her that was taken with the magic-box of the sahibs?... Is it for her sake that thou dost deny me, O my husband? Is she more fair than I, are her lips more sweet?" "I am not thy husband," he declared vehemently, appalled by her reversion to that delusion. "Till this hour I have never seen thee; nor is the sahiba of any concern to thee. Let me go, please."
"But Charteris Sahib the Rani every one?" murmured Gerrard, trying to remember what had happened. "The Rani Sahiba saw your honour fall, and herself took command of the soldiers, bidding them die rather than fail to recover your body. Sirdar Badan Hazari was killed, fighting very valiantly, and the Komadan Sahib Rukn-ud-din now leads the troops." "But Charteris Sahib what of him, I say?"
I shall attend the Rani Sahiba to Ranjitgarh myself." Starving oneself to force a debtor to pay. Fixture. "Have you cleared out a tent for the Rani, Bob? I was going to ask you to do it, but when I looked for you, you had disappeared." "Yes, she and her women are safely secluded. But what I really made myself scarce for was to secure the guns." "Old boy, you are a genius!
"Truly are those thy terms, sahiba?" "Truly! What others can I ask?" "They are granted, sahiba!" "Oh, thank God!" She knew that he was speaking at least half the truth. She knew his power. She knew enough of Howrah City's politics to be convinced that he would not be left at the mercy of a little band of Rangars.
For some absurd reason their weight on his shoulders was nothing to their weight on his poor mind. His neck ached under it of nights. 'Thine is a sickness uncommon in youth these days: since young folk have given up tending their betters. The remedy is sleep, and certain drugs, said the Sahiba; and he was glad to give himself up to the blankness that half menaced and half soothed him.
