It was mentioned that Singa Phut was being kept under observation, though no suspicion attached to him. Darcy had at first nervously, and then indignantly, protested his innocence, King continually doing the latter.
"If he were not so young," said some of them, "he might be made Grand Vizier, the next in dignity to the King, or be appointed Governor of a province. But his youth prevents his being raised over the people next to the King." After longer consultation, the eldest of the councillors rose, and said, "Kadga Singa, my King and lord.
"Do you happen to know what became of that watch the one in her hand? It belonged to an East Indian, you said." "Yes, to Singa Phut. I was to make one little adjustment in it for him, and he was to come in early to get it. It wasn't much. The hair spring, I think, had become caught up and it ran very fast. I planned to do it the night before, but the light was too poor.
"Have a talk with Singa Phut? Why sure, if it will do you any good," said the headquarters man when the colonel had made known his desire. "I was going to the jail on another matter, anyhow, and I might as well kill two birds as one. They'll let you see him if I'm with you. Otherwise you'd have to get an order from the prosecutor's office. Come along."
Are you a beggar, and do you need any gift? It shall be given you: go to my palace." Haschem stood up and answered, "In such circumstances you might well take me for a beggar, O great King Kadga Singa. But know that under these ragged clothes is concealed a magician, who is come to change your tears into smiles, your sobs into transports of joy." "Can any man on earth do this?" asked Kadga Singa.
"Singa Phut is a quiet, studious Indian," answered Darcy. "He has not lived here very long, but I knew him in New York. He has done business with me for some years." "Is he all right safe not one of them gars you know, the fellows that use a silk cord to strangle you with?" asked Thong, who had some imagination regarding garroters.
"I heard from her this morning," she says, half apologetically, "but never thought of telling you until now. She will be here in time for dinner, and she is bringing the children with her." "Only the children?" says Roger, the others are all singularly dumb. "Yes. The ayah has gone home. Of course she will bring a nurse of some sort, but not Singa."
But we have settled something regarding the watch, anyhow. Now, Jack, I want to talk to you about Harry King." "He needs to be talked about," was the response. "I don't say he had anything to do with the murder especially not after what you have said about Singa Phut. But Harry King needs watching." "I agree with you. You say he and Larch have been looking at a packet of diamonds?"
He saw that he must purchase the good fortune to be husband of the noble Princess, and son-in-law of the great King Kadga Singa, and after him to be King of Selandia, only by the misfortunes of Prince Mundian Oppu. He asked himself if this were right, and was obliged to confess that his reason and knowledge of justice and honour were opposed to it.
"He gets away the next day, and reaches a fish market, in the little island of Kabizia, in time to breakfast on a large, black-backed, scaleless monster, the singa. The sailors considering it delicious, are disinclined to move on. "Again detained by a high wind, they cross, at noon on the 11th, to Kasenge, where Sheikh Hamer, an Arab merchant, receives Speke with warm and generous hospitality.
