The soldiers, who had supposed that Djalma would submit to his fate with the same impassibility as his companions, were astounded by this resistance, and recoiled some paces, being struck in spite of themselves, with the noble and dignified air of the son of Kadja-sing.
You are wicked, because you are no doubt unhappy. I will strive to make you happy, so that you may be good. Would you have gold? you shall have it. Would you have a friend? though you are a slave, a king's son offers you his friendship." Faringhea had refused the gold, and appeared to accept the friendship of the son of Kadja-sing.
"Are you sent by him?" "Perhaps," said Mahal, with a distrustful air. "But are you really the son of Kadja-sing?" "Yes, I tell you but where have you seen General Simon?" "If you are the son of Kadja-sing," resumed Mahal, continuing to regard Djalma with a suspicious eye, "what is your surname?"
"'Kadja-sing, married, in 1802, a descendant of the said family, then settled at Batavia, in the Island of Java, a Dutch colony. "'On the father's side Jacques Rennepont, surnamed Sleepinbuff, mechanic. "'Adrienne de Cardoville, daughter of the Count of Rennepont, Duke of Cardoville. "'Gabriel Rennepont, priest of the foreign missions.
On his return from a distant and sanguinary expedition amongst the mountains against this Indian king, Colonel Drake was filled with enthusiasm for this son of Kadja-sing, known as Djalma.
"You are the son of Kadja-sing?" "Once again, what would you?" "The friend of General Simon?" "General Simon?" cried Djalma. "You are going to meet him, as you have gone every evening, since you expect his return from Sumatra?" "Yes, but how do you know all this?" said the Indian looking at the Smuggler with as much surprise as curiosity. "Is he not to land at Batavia, to-day or to-morrow?"
The three men, irritated at the horror which Djalma had manifested on learning that they were Phansegars, took a savage pride in making it believed that the son of Kadja-sing belonged to their frightful association. "What have you to answer?" said the officer to Djalma.
"Them!" cried Djalma, with so natural a movement and expression of horror, that with a sign the officer stopped the soldiers, who were again advancing to bind the son of Kadja-sing; "these men form part of that horrible band of murderers! and you accuse me of being their accomplice! Oh, in this case, sir! I am perfectly at ease," said the young man, with a smile of disdain.
You are wicked, because you are no doubt unhappy. I will strive to make you happy, so that you may be good. Would you have gold? you shall have it. Would you have a friend? though you are a slave, a king's son offers you his friendship." Faringhea had refused the gold, and appeared to accept the friendship of the son of Kadja-sing.
"'These descendants, direct or indirect, are: "'On the mother's side, "'Rose and Blanche Simon minors. "'General Simon married, at Warsaw, a descendant of the said family. "'Francois Hardy, manufacturer at Plessis, near Paris. "'Prince Djalma, son of Kadja-sing, King of Mondi.
