Be it remembered that the Sahib's shirts are correctly enumerated, and that there is an extra piece of soap in his washbasin. My child was bewitched, and I slew the wizard. Why should you seek to slay me with the rope? My honour is saved, and and I die.
Besides, Abdul liked to hear the little fellow call him 'Bap, which meant 'Father, and to feel his old brown finger clasped by small pink and white ones, as he and Sonny Sahib toddled into the bazar together. He liked to hear Sonny Sahib's laugh, too; it was quite a different laugh from any other boy's in Rubbulgurh, and it came oftener.
And that night, too happy to keep silent, he told his mother of Warwick Sahib's smile. "And some time I I, thine own son," he said as sleepiness came upon him, "will be a killer of tigers, even as Warwick Sahib." "Little sparrow-hawk," his mother laughed at him.
The girl was adding: "It is on the Sahib's way to Poona; there will be many from Karowlee at Mandhatta and I can return with them."

"One of Kirby sahib's officers, and a trooper into the bargain!" The general whistled again. "There were two troopers whom I meant to catch," she said hurriedly, for it was evident that the general did not at all approve of the turn affairs had taken.

And for all Nana Sahib's veneer of English class, mental development, beneath the English shirt he wore the junwa, the three-strand sacred thread, insignia of the twice-born, the Brahmin. From Governor General to the British officers who played polo with the Peshwa's son, they all accepted him as one of themselves; considered it good diplomacy that he had been sent to Oxford and made over.
"Another one who builds no bridges on thy sanctity." "Not one of the English? Beware of them, I say; beware of them!" "No, not one of the English.
