That's why I wouldn't give any to the helephant. You've got a handkerchy, and I shall have to trouble you for that there tie as well; that silky thing will do to bathe the place nicely, and the handkerchy to dry you with. No, it won't. I never thought of that." "Oh yes, take them," said Archie eagerly. "The tie will soon dry again."
Before five minutes had elapsed Peter Pegg proved the truth of his assertion by the utterance of a very regular snore, which kept time with his breath till broad daylight, when he started up. "Reveille, comrade!" he cried aloud; and then, "Blest if it ain't that helephant again!"
'Chicken, said Mr Toots, severely, 'you're a perfect Vulture! Your sentiments are atrocious. 'My sentiments is Game and Fancy, Master, returned the Chicken. 'That's wot my sentiments is. I can't abear a meanness. I'm afore the public, I'm to be heerd on at the bar of the Little Helephant, and no Gov'ner o' mine mustn't go and do what's mean.
"I know you are, sir, and I might say, so am I; for long enough it has seemed as if the hinge of my back was giving way, and when the helephant gives one of his worst rolls it just seems as if he'd jerk my head off. But cheer up, sir! I think it's all right, and we have done splendidly. We might have had to pull up and fight all the Malay chaps from up there by the Rajah's hunting-box.
"Why, yes, sir, you've travelled, sir, very much so indeed, sir you've shot lions and tigers and a helephant or so, and exchanged sentiments with raging 'eathen as rage in nothing but a string o' beads but what about your noomerous possessions in Europe, sir?" "Ah, yes," nodded Young R., "I do possess some shanties and things over there, don't I, Brimberly?" "Shanties, sir!" Mr.
"No; I think yes, it is the mahout who rode into camp at the review." "What! him, sir? That's Rajah's own mahout I mean, Rajah's his helephant. That's why he stopped. Phee ew!" whistled the lad. "Why, he's a friend of mine. I say, sir, we are not so bad off as I thought." "You've met him before, then, Pete?" "Course I did, sir day of the sham-fight. But I didn't know he was up yonder.
Then settling himself down near the empty water-jar, which he carefully wiped out and turned upside-down to dry, he began to munch his own share of the fruit, making up his mind the while to think out thoroughly a good plan for their escape. "One helephant," he said softly, "two spears, one officer, and one private who knows how to use the spears. Wanted: two krises and how to get away.
When we got near the Helephant and Castle, Timothy Odgkinson, of Brixton Hill, a low, underselling grocer, got his measly errand cart, with his name and address in great staring white letters, just in advance of the leaders, and kept dodging across the road to get the sound ground, for the whole line was werry "woolley" as you calls it.
"That Malay chap, sir the big one with the squint. I should like to drop upon him and smug that kris of his. Just think of it! As soon as we made up our minds to toddle the first time we can get the helephant here before they mount sentry, here he comes, just as if orders had been given for that to be done regular."
That's the best of it. You can't grarsp it because you have been lying there onsensible and don't know what's happened. I didn't believe it myself at first; but you remember about the review and the big Rajah's helephants?" "Yes, of course." "Well, when I was off duty for a bit I goes and makes friends with one of the swell mahouts him as drove the Rajah's own helephant.
