Loads and ponies were all where we had left
them.
He sent Narayan Singh up trail to bring thebodies
of Tsang-Mondrong and Tsang-yang.
By trying; by concentration on the study. He will
give itto another man, whose name I dont know.
Grims eyebrows twitched, which meant that his brain
was alert. There we left them, Grim and I riding one pony, he holding me
on.
He told you his story; therefore you know too
much.
What do you know about those two Tibetans in the
yard? It will look like any ordinaryhill fight. Wecould not return to Leh without
risk of being murdered. It is said he shall live until Ramsden comes.
They would probably havecarried her off and sold
the little fool in Baltistan or Tibet. No thought about retreat had entered his
head. Grim asked a poser then:Can we four find our way in?
Wecould not return to Leh without risk of being
murdered.
From the bottom of my heart I wished I hadnever
heard of Rait. To have gone straight to the British Resident with our story
waspossibly the proper course. I could not make themhear me by shouting against the
wind.
I think not, said our visitor and took one step
forward, straighttoward me.
Thought wasbeing used as a directing force by one
who understood the trick. If you do that, you can not save Rait, said the stranger
quietly. They have run off to betray us, said Narayan Singh. By trying; by
concentration on the study. And Sidiki has this girl wife,who is a red-hot fool. I
asked, but Chullunder Ghose did not answer. How long is it, as a rule,before he
dies?
Wecould not return to Leh without risk of being
murdered.
You forget my hospitality, Sidiki
interrupted.
However, he admits that Benjaminsletter obliges him
to help us on our way if we insist.
I approached the stranger and asked him rather
curtly who he wasand why he had entered unannounced. They are the enemy; and they
aredeadly dangerous.
