"No true-born Rajputni ever names her lover or her husband." "But you knew that I know Prince Utirupa Singh. He came to my garden party!" "Nevertheless, no Rajputni names her lover to another man or woman calling him by his own name only in retirement, to his face." "Why he isn't he the one who Sir Roland Samson told me ought to have been maharajah instead of Gungadhura?"
He's had the men's rice and water-bottles, and they left a lot of faggots in the tunnel, too, I remember. That accounts for the smell of smoke." "But what was the digging I've heard o' nights?" demanded Tom. "I'm not the only one. The British garrison was scared out of its wits." Utirupa was hunting about with a lantern in his hand, watching the dog go sniffing in the shadows.
Instantly the ball went clipping toward the English goal, to be checked by Topham at full-back, who sent it out rattling to the right wing. But the Rajput left-wing man, a young cousin of Utirupa, cut in like an arrow. The ball crossed over to the right wing, where Utirupa took it, galloping down the line on a chestnut mare that had the speed of wind.
"I wonder what she said to him at the end of the third chukker," Tess whispered to Dick. Samson found Utirupa giving orders to the saises, and shook hands with him. "Good game, Utirupa! Congratulate you. By the way: there's going to be a meeting on important business in my office half an hour from now. When you've had a tub and a change, I wish you'd come and join us. We want a word with you."
"But when the ceremony is over," she said, "and you yourself have proclaimed Prince Utirupa king of Sialpore, there will still remain the problem of how to make the English recognize him. There is Gungadhura, for instance, to get out of the way; and Gungadhura's sons how many has he?" "Five, all whole and well. But the dogs must suffer for their breeding.
Then down the third line, yet more slowly, until Tess had cold chills, thinking Utirupa was not there! One by one she viewed them all, until the last man's turn came, and she took him by the hand and led him forth. At that the whole assembly milled into a mob and reformed in double line up and down the room.
So Samson called on Utirupa and requested explanations. He was told that the mining contract had not received a moment's consideration and, with equal truth, that the American, being an expert in such matters and on the spot, had been asked to undertake examination of the fort's foundations.
I pried it away from the wall at last with steel wedges, and there's just room to squeeze in behind it. Beyond that is another wall that I had to cut through with a chisel. Who goes in first?" "Who looks for gold finds gold!" Yasmini quoted. "The vein of gold you have been mining was the clue to the secret all along." She would have led the way, but Utirupa stopped her.
I think I can persuade him to abdicate if Norwood, for instance, knows of any way to gather secret evidence about that murder secret, you understand me, Norwood. We need that for a sword of Damocles." "Who's to succeed him in that case?" asked Ross, the P. M. O. "I shall recommend Utirupa Singh," said Samson, with his eyes alert. Ross nodded.
"Will you agree?" "I will sign," said Utirupa. And he signed the contract there and then, in presence of all those witnesses. Ten minutes later, as he left the office, the waiting batteries fired him a fourteen-gun salute, that the world might know how a new maharajah occupied the throne of Sialpore.
