In one instance he was defied outright. A certain Bahadur Khan inhabiting a remote valley in the Bamian direction, refused to sell any portion of his great store of grain and forage, and declined to comply with a summons to present himself in Baker's camp.
But before Mahommed Gunga saw fit to follow him he legged his charger close to Cunningham for a final word or two. "Have no fear now, bahadur no anxiety! Three days hence there will be a finer regiment to lead than ever thundered in thy father's wake a regiment of men, sahib, for a man to lead and love! a regiment that will trust thee, sahib! See thou to the guarantees! Rung Ho, bahadur!"
An old Gosain, who had served under Himmat Bahadur, near Agra, once told the author that flour sold near Agra that year 8 seers for the rupee; which, allowing for the subsequent fall in the value of money, is perhaps equivalent to a rate of three seers for our present rupee a state of things partly conceivable by English readers, if they will imagine the quartern loaf at four shillings, and butcher's meat in proportion.
It was done at last however, and feeling beneath the loose papers on the surface he drew out from the very bottom a large sealed envelope. He examined the seals to make sure they had not been tampered with. Then he tore open the envelope and took out a photograph, somewhat larger than cabinet size. "You have heard of Bahadur Salak?" he said. Thresk started.
"Nay, sahib, but a good horse is like a woman, to be loved and treated faithfully! Neither horse nor woman should be sacrificed for less than duty! Lead on, bahadur I will join thee at the gate." He had several directions to give for the horse's better care, and Cunningham was forced to wait at least five minutes for him at the foot of the steep descent.
Thomas then asked permission to found the first hospital for women in India in His Highness's name, to which he replied, 'As you think proper, so do. So His Highness Mahomed Kallub Ali Khan, Bahadur, Nawab of Rampore, has the honor of making the first generous contribution toward founding the first woman's hospital in India.
That was England, the English power, the English civilization, the modern civilization with the quiet elegancies and quiet colors and quiet tastes and quiet dignity that are the outcome of the modern cultivation. And following it came a picture of the ancient civilization of India an hour in the mansion of a native prince: Kumar Schri Samatsinhji Bahadur of the Palitana State.
I am worrying more about those guarantees that Howrah was to give I am anxious to see how, with fifteen hundred, we are to get the better of a Rajah and his brother and their total of ten thousand! I want to see those promises performed! Ay! The Miss-sahib has done well. She has done her share. Let her continue. And do thou thy share, bahadur! I am at thy back with my men, but give us action!"
There was menace and fate in eye and tooth and claw, yea, in the very kink of the prehensile-seeming tail wherewith he apparently steered his course in mid-air. The boy was wholly charmed, stroked the glowing ferocity and observed that he was a pukka Bahadur. On the next page, burning bright, was a tiger, if possible one degree more terrible than the lion.
'Come in, said Strickland. 'It's a very warm night, isn't it? Bahadur Khan, a great, green-turbaned, six-foot Mahomedan, said that it was a very warm night; but that there was more rain pending, which, by his Honour's favour, would bring relief to the country. 'It will be so, if God pleases, said Strickland, tugging off his boots.
