Of course, Sahib, a turban is an affair of caste, and I suppose he was feeling a disgrace in going forth without it.
Quick as I was, however, the brute of an Arab was quicker; and, aiming a terrible slashing cut at me with the tulwar, which had it landed would have decapitated me as clean as a whistle, and the last word of my history been told for good and all aye, but for a wonderful interposition just as I thought my end had come.
When I ranged up by Keene's side soon afterward, he looked up at me absently. I had escaped with hardly a scratch; but I saw an ugly cut above his knee, and blood stealing down his bridle-arm. 'Bah! it's nothing, Royston observed, answering the direction of my eyes; 'but if the tulwar and the reprimand had both been sharper confess, Hal, that this time, Le jeu valait bien la chandelle?
