Ghyrkins' bungalow was wholly unpremeditated, and I was sure Isaacs had spoken to none but our party not even to his saice since our meeting with the Westonhaughs on the Annandale road an hour and a half before. "I wonder what he wants," said my friend, apparently soliloquising. "He seems to know where to find you, at all events," I answered.
The saice grinned, but was instantly quelled to sobriety by his master's scowl. The horse whinnied again, and tucked a confiding nose under the young officer's arm. "All right, old man! Here you are!" said Noel.
"Really, Miss Westonhaugh, I got in such a rage with my rascal of a saice that I did not remember I was so near the house. I am really very sorry I talked like that. I hope you did not think I was murdering him?" Isaacs looked annoyed. "Yes," said he, "we thought Mahmoud was going to have a bad time of it. I believe Miss Westonhaugh does not understand Hindustani."
At first she thought that she was dreaming, that presently these vague impressions would fade from her consciousness, and she would awake to normal things, to the sunlight beating across the verandah, to the cheery call of Everard's saice in the compound, and the tramp of impatient hoofs. And Everard himself would rise up from her side, and stoop and kiss her before he went.
It may often be good in logic, but it seems to me it is very often bad in real life." "Yes," said Isaacs; "there are cases " He stopped, and Miss Westonhaugh, who had been very busy over her work, looked quietly up, only to find that he was profoundly interested in the horses cropping the short grass, as far as the saice would let them stretch their necks, on the other side of the lawn.
"Genuine," suggested Fletcher very quietly. She accepted the word. The narration was making her very nervous. "Yes, genuine. He told me that the saice had cracked the shaft beforehand, that there was no possibility of getting it repaired at Farabad, that he would have to return to Kundaghat and might not, probably would not, come back for us before the following morning."
Mrs. Denvers, you will never forgive me, I know. That jump of the mare's damaged one of the shafts. The wonder is it didn't break altogether. I have had to send the saice back to Farabad to try and get it patched up, and there is very little chance of our getting back to Kundaghat for two or three hours to come."
Now, God give good going to master o' mine, God speed him, and lead him, and nerve him; God give him a lead of a length in the line, And, God let him boast that I serve him! THE dawn was barely breaking yet when things stirred in the little mission house. The flea-bitten gray pony was saddled by a sleepy saice, and brought round from his open-sided thatch stable in the rear.
Isaacs, would you mind giving us a list of the ladies you look upon with 'respectful and devotional reverence?" One of the horses held by the saice at the corner of the lawn neighed lowly, and gave Isaacs an opportunity of looking away. "Miss Westonhaugh," he said quietly, "you know I am a Mussulman, and that I am married.
He said he was going to send away a saice for being tipsy, and I did not know in the least what he could mean, Laura!" "Mr. Newcome! you must go and drive on the Course with Rosa now; and the Colonel must sit and talk with me, whom he has not been to see for such a long time."
