-▁But ▁tre es ▁don ’ t ▁grow ▁in ▁the ▁t und ra ... and ▁that ’ s ▁just ▁where ▁she ▁found ▁herself .
-▁A ▁b rown ▁re ind e er ▁came ▁up ▁to ▁her ▁and ▁started ▁sn iff ing ▁her ▁bro om stick .
-▁He ▁tro t ted ▁around ▁her ▁then ▁just ▁left .
-▁B room ▁l ament ed , ▁“ I ’ ll ▁be ▁stuck ▁here ▁alone ▁forever , ▁without ▁any ▁friends .”
-▁Then ▁from ▁the ▁corner ▁of ▁her ▁eye ▁she ▁saw ▁a ▁b ur row ▁near by .
-▁She ▁carefully ▁pe ek ed ▁in ▁and ▁wond ered , ▁“ What ’ s ▁that ▁strange ▁his s ing ▁sound ▁I ▁hear ?
-▁C ould ▁it ▁be ▁a ▁sn ake ?”
-▁It ▁wasn ’ t ▁a ▁sn ake .
-▁It ▁was ▁a ▁small ▁fl uff y ▁white ▁ar ctic ▁h are ▁who ▁invited ▁her ▁to ▁stay ▁for ▁tea .
-▁B room ▁left ▁the ▁b ur row ▁feeling ▁ref res hed , ▁“ That ▁was ▁so ▁kind ▁of ▁you , ▁h are .
-▁But ▁I ▁have ▁only ▁these ▁br ist les ▁to ▁rep ay ▁you .
-▁Per haps ▁you ▁can ▁use ▁some ▁of ▁them ▁to ▁make ▁a ▁co z y ▁cou ch ▁for ▁yourself ?”
-▁Ar ctic ▁h are ▁sm iled ▁at ▁the ▁bro om , ▁h ug ged ▁her ▁goodbye ▁and ▁thank ed ▁her .
-▁B room ▁j oy ful ly ▁thought , ▁“ E s mer ald a , ▁the ▁w ick ed ▁old ▁w itch , ▁never ▁thank ed ▁me ▁before , ▁even ▁after ▁all ▁I ’ ve ▁done ▁for ▁her .”
-▁B room ▁took ▁a ▁deep ▁bre ath ▁of ▁fresh ▁t und ra ▁air .
-▁Then ▁she ▁started ▁looking ▁for ▁other ▁creat ures ▁to ▁help .
-▁She ▁let ▁the ▁old ▁pol ar ▁bear ▁use ▁her ▁as ▁a ▁can e ▁while ▁he ▁cross ed ▁the ▁f ro z en ▁lake .
-▁The ▁bear ▁sm iled ▁and ▁thank ed ▁her ▁for ▁her ▁help ▁and ▁just ▁before ▁she ▁left .... .. s he ▁not iced ▁some ▁young ▁lic hen ▁looking ▁for ▁some where ▁to ▁sett le .
-▁B room ▁offered ▁the ▁lic hen ▁a ▁spot ▁on ▁her ▁br ist les ▁to ▁rest ▁while ▁they ▁grew .
-▁The ▁lic hen ▁were ▁grate ful ▁and ▁the ▁bro om ▁felt ▁very ▁happy ▁to ▁have ▁the ▁lic hen ▁there ▁with ▁her .
-▁The ▁sun ▁was ▁about ▁to ▁set , ▁so ▁B room ▁decided ▁to ▁find ▁a ▁place ▁to ▁rest ▁for ▁the ▁night .
-▁And ▁while ▁she ▁was ▁looking ▁for ▁shel ter , ▁her ds ▁of ▁animals ▁surrounded ▁her .
-▁Re ind e er , ▁mus k ▁o x en , ▁f ox es , ▁h ares ▁and ▁Y ak ut ian ▁c attle ▁all ▁enc ir c led ▁her .
-▁As ▁they ▁moved ▁closer , ▁bro om ▁sh ive red .
-▁Her ▁br ist les ▁t rem b led ▁as ▁she ▁st ut tered ▁“ Wh ... Wh ... What ▁do ▁you ▁want ?”
-▁The ▁re ind e er ▁ste pped ▁forward ▁and ▁said , ▁“ We ▁would ▁like ▁you ▁to ▁come ▁to ▁the ▁little ▁party ▁we ’ re ▁having ▁by ▁the ▁f ro z en ▁lake .”
-▁B room ▁e ager ly ▁accepted ▁the ▁inv itation .
-▁And ▁next ▁to ▁the ▁f ro z en ▁lake , ▁they ▁lit ▁a ▁fire ▁and ▁war med ▁themselves ▁by ▁it .
-▁They ▁had ▁so ▁much ▁fun ▁just ▁eating , ▁singing ▁and ▁d ancing .
-▁B room ▁list ened ▁to ▁everyone ’ s ▁th r ill ing ▁adv ent ures ▁and ▁told ▁them ▁all ▁about ▁the ▁mar ve ll ous ▁places ▁she ▁had ▁visited .
-▁Her ▁ey el ids ▁grew ▁heavy .
-▁She ▁sm iled ▁and ▁said , ▁just ▁before ▁going ▁to ▁sleep , ▁“ This ▁is ▁the ▁most ▁ch arming ▁place ▁in ▁the ▁world .”
-▁The ▁E nd ."
-▁" A st ron om y ▁books , ▁she ▁loved ▁to ▁read , ▁and ▁she ▁knew ▁all ▁the ▁stars ▁and ▁g ala x ies ▁ind eed .
-▁She ▁spent ▁wonderful ▁times ▁with ▁her ▁uncle , ▁Mr . ▁Sc ope , ▁obs erving ▁the ▁plan ets ▁with ▁her ▁new ▁tel es c ope .
-▁She ▁was ▁so ▁happy ▁to ▁find ▁out ▁that ▁he ▁made ▁a ▁spaces hip , ▁and ▁that ▁he ’ ll ▁take ▁her ▁with ▁him ▁on ▁a ▁far aw ay ▁trip .
-▁He ▁said : ▁“ G et ▁ready , ▁get ▁set ▁we ’ re ▁about ▁to ▁go ! ▁To ▁visit ▁K ep ler , ▁the ▁Earth - like ▁planet ▁you ▁know ! ”
-▁“ For ▁my ▁spaces hip ▁travel s ▁as ▁fast ▁as ▁light ! ▁And ▁we ’ ll ▁have ▁lot s ▁of ▁fun ▁during ▁our ▁flight .”
-▁She ▁put ▁on ▁her ▁spaces u it ▁and ▁w aved ▁goodbye .
-▁Then , ▁three , ▁two , ▁one .
-▁Bl ast ▁off ▁to ▁the ▁sky !
-▁Her ▁uncle ▁che ered , ▁“ We ’ re ▁off ▁to ▁the ▁stars ! ▁Off ▁to ▁K ep ler ▁far ▁beyond ▁Venus ▁and ▁Mar s .”
-▁When ▁the ▁spaces hip ▁landed ▁on ▁K ep ler ’ s ▁surface , ▁Grace ▁was ▁am az ed ▁by ▁all ▁its ▁beauty ▁and ▁fair ness .
-▁She ▁asked ▁her ▁uncle ▁where ▁the ▁al i ens ▁could ▁be .
-▁He ▁said , ▁“ You ▁can ▁watch ▁them ▁on ▁a ▁sc i - f i ▁movie .”
-▁“ We ▁don ’ t ▁have ▁lot s ▁of ▁time ▁to ▁spend ▁around ▁here .
-▁So , ▁let ’ s ▁collect ▁some ▁samples ▁and ▁s ou ven ir s .”
-▁On ▁their ▁way ▁back , ▁they ▁not iced ▁something ▁strange .
-▁Their ▁city ▁looked ▁so ▁different ▁and ▁their ▁mob iles ▁were ▁out ▁of ▁range !
-▁Her ▁uncle ▁put ▁his ▁hand ▁on ▁his ▁head ▁and ▁said , ▁“ O h ▁de ar , ▁O h ▁de ar ie !
-▁I ▁forg ot ▁all ▁about ▁an ▁important ▁the ory !
-▁Not ▁to ▁mention , ▁the ▁fourth ▁d im ension !
-▁We ▁thought ▁we ▁trave lled ▁for ▁hours , ▁but ▁we ▁spent ▁years ▁and ▁years !
-▁I ’ m ▁sure ▁our ▁family ▁must ▁have ▁s hed ▁lot s ▁of ▁tears .”
-▁Grace ▁was ▁happy ▁to ▁see ▁her ▁parents ▁that ▁were ▁now ▁very ▁old .
-▁And ▁her ▁baby ▁sister ▁was ▁also ▁a ▁colle ge ▁gradu ate , ▁she ▁was ▁told .
-▁St ill , ▁being ▁back ▁with ▁her ▁family ▁felt ▁really ▁great , ▁And ▁on ▁this ▁happy ▁occasion , ▁they ▁all ▁did ▁celebrate .
-▁Little ▁Miss ▁Grace ▁in ▁ast on ish ment ▁s ung , ▁“ My ▁little ▁sister ���grew ▁older , ▁but ▁I ▁stay ed ▁young .”
-▁The ▁E nd "
-▁" I ▁don ’ t ▁like ▁no od les .”
-▁The ▁next ▁day , ▁Am ma ▁made ▁up ma ▁with ▁pe an uts ▁and ▁pe as , ▁but ▁Sam ira ▁at e ▁only ▁the ▁pe an uts ▁in ▁it ▁and ▁took ▁the ▁rest ▁back ▁home .
-▁“ It ▁was ▁like ▁w et ▁sand ,” ▁she ▁said ▁when ▁Am ma ▁asked ▁her ▁why ▁she ▁had n ’ t ▁eat en ▁it .
-▁“ S h all ▁I ▁give ▁you ▁id l is ?” ▁asked ▁Am ma .
-▁“ O h , ▁y es ▁ !
-▁They ▁would ▁be ▁love ly ▁to ▁play ▁with .
-▁I ▁can ▁toss ▁and ▁catch ▁them .
-▁But ▁I ▁will ▁not ▁eat ▁them — id l is ▁taste ▁like ▁m ud .”
-▁So ▁now ▁there ▁were ▁par ath as ▁and ▁br in j al ▁cur ry .
-▁U gh , ▁ ugh , ▁ ugh !
-▁Sh ut ting ▁her ▁t iff in ▁box ▁with ▁a ▁b ang , ▁Sam ira ▁went ▁to ▁the ▁school ▁court yard .
-▁A ▁row ▁of ▁ants ▁cr aw ling ▁along ▁the ▁wall ▁said , ▁“ S am ira , ▁why ▁are n ’ t ▁you ▁eating ▁your ▁lunch ▁like ▁all ▁the ▁other ▁children ?”
-▁Sam ira ▁said , ▁“ I ▁don ’ t ▁like ▁par ath as .
-▁I ▁don ’ t ▁like ▁vegetables . ▁I ▁don ’ t ▁want ▁any ▁lunch .”
-▁“ O f ▁course , ▁one ▁cannot ▁eat ▁vegetables ,” ▁the ▁ants ▁agreed .
-▁They ▁offered ▁her ▁the ▁w ing ▁of ▁a ▁c ock ro ach ▁that ▁they ▁were ▁carefully ▁carrying ▁and ▁said , ▁“ Now ▁try ▁this , ▁it ▁is ▁really ▁de lic ious .”
-▁“ O h ▁no ! ▁I ▁don ’ t ▁want ▁any ▁hor rible ▁c ock ro aches ,” ▁said ▁Sam ira ▁and ▁ran ▁away ▁to ▁the ▁garden .
-▁Col our ful ▁flowers ▁were ▁bl oom ing ▁in ▁the ▁garden ▁and ▁but ter f lies ▁were ▁fl it ting ▁from ▁one ▁to ▁the ▁other .
-▁An ▁or ange ▁but ter f ly ▁with ▁black ▁chec ks ▁and ▁st rip es ▁said , ▁“ H ell o ▁Sam ira ! ▁Why ▁are n ’ t ▁you ▁eating ▁your ▁lunch ▁like ▁all ▁the ▁other ▁children ?”
-▁Sam ira ▁said , ▁“ I ▁don ’ t ▁like ▁par ath as .
-▁I ▁don ’ t ▁like ▁vegetables .
-▁I ▁don ’ t ▁want ▁any ▁lunch .”
-▁“ O f ▁course , ▁one ▁cannot ▁eat ▁vegetables ,” ▁the ▁but ter f ly ▁agreed .
-▁“ Why ▁don ’ t ▁you ▁drink ▁some ▁ne ct ar ▁from ▁the ▁flowers ▁like ▁us ?
-▁It ▁is ▁really ▁de lic ious .”
-▁Sam ira ▁put ▁her ▁t ong ue ▁into ▁the ▁centre ▁of ▁a ▁flower ▁but ▁could ▁find ▁nothing !
-▁“ I ▁don ’ t ▁want ▁any ▁ne ct ar .
-▁And ▁I ▁think ▁you ▁are ▁fool ing ▁me ,” ▁she ▁c ried .
-▁She ▁ran ▁to ▁the ▁big ▁p ipal ▁tree ▁in ▁the ▁law n .
-▁A ▁crow ▁c aw ing ▁above ▁called , ▁“ H ell o ▁Sam ira ! ▁Why ▁are n ’ t ▁you ▁eating ▁your ▁lunch ▁like ▁all ▁the ▁other ▁children ?”
-▁Sam ira ▁said , ▁“ I ▁don ’ t ▁like ▁par ath as .
-▁I ▁don ’ t ▁like ▁vegetables .
-▁I ▁don ’ t ▁want ▁any ▁lunch .”
-▁“ O f ▁course , ▁one ▁cannot ▁eat ▁vegetables ,” ▁the ▁crow ▁agreed , ▁“ H e re , ▁I ’ ll ▁give ▁you ▁something ▁nice ,” ▁and ▁it ▁dropped ▁a ▁hal fe at en ▁m ouse ▁for ▁Sam ira .
-▁“ O h ▁no ! ▁What ▁a ▁terrible ▁thing !
-▁K eep ▁your ▁m ouse ▁for ▁yourself ,” ▁scre amed ▁Sam ira ▁and ▁ran ▁away ▁to ▁stand ▁near ▁the ▁wall .
-▁Some ▁sp ar row s ▁were ▁ch ir rup ing ▁on ▁the ▁led ge ▁of ▁the ▁wall ▁and ▁called ▁out , ▁“ H ell o ▁Sam ira ! ▁Why ▁are n ’ t ▁you ▁eating ▁your ▁lunch ▁like ▁all ▁the ▁other ▁children ?”
-▁Sam ira ▁said , ▁“ I ▁don ’ t ▁like ▁par ath as .
-▁I ▁don ’ t ▁like ▁vegetables .
-▁I ▁don ’ t ▁want ▁any ▁lunch .”
-▁“ O f ▁course , ▁one ▁cannot ▁eat ▁vegetables ,” ▁the ▁sp ar row s ▁agreed .
-▁“ H e re ▁are ▁some ▁cr unch y ▁gr ains ▁of ▁bar ley ▁ — ▁they ▁are ▁really ▁n ut rit ious .”
-▁Sam ira ▁che w ed ▁one ▁and ▁made ▁a ▁face .
-▁“ This ▁is ▁like ▁eating ▁p eb bles . ▁Even ▁up ma ▁is ▁better .”
-▁A ▁kind ▁sp ar row ▁at ▁once ▁asked ▁her , ▁“ W ould ▁you ▁like ▁some ▁soft , ▁ju ic y ▁wor ms ▁instead ?
-▁J ust ▁a ▁min ute ...
-▁J ust ▁before ▁it ▁fle w ▁off ▁to ▁get ▁her ▁a ▁wor m , ▁Sam ira ▁said , ▁“ W orms ▁ind eed . ▁No , ▁thank ▁you ! ▁I ▁would ▁much ▁rather ▁eat ▁no od les ," ▁and ▁ran ▁to ▁the ▁gate ▁of ▁the ▁school .
-▁A ▁c ow ▁was ▁l az ily ▁che wing ▁c ud ▁just ▁outside ▁and ▁m oo ed ▁when ▁it ▁saw ▁Sam ira .
-▁“ H ell o ! ” ▁it ▁called , ▁“ Why ▁are n ’ t ▁you ▁eating ��your ▁lunch ▁like ▁all ▁the ▁other ▁children ?”
-▁Sam ira ▁said , ▁“ I ▁don ’ t ▁like ▁par ath as .
-▁I ▁don ’ t ▁like ▁vegetables , ▁especially ▁br in j als .
-▁I ▁don ’ t ▁want ▁any ▁lunch .”
-▁“ O f ▁course , ▁cooked ▁br in j als ▁are n ’ t ▁nice ▁at ▁all ,” ▁the ▁c ow ▁agreed .
-▁“ L et ▁me ▁b ite ▁off ▁some ▁of ▁this ▁gr ass ▁for ▁you ▁ — ▁it ▁is ▁particular ly ▁sweet ▁after ▁the ▁rains .
-▁You ▁should ▁eat ▁it ▁with ▁the ▁h ib isc us ▁bus h ▁next ▁to ▁you .
-▁You ▁are ▁so ▁lucky .
-▁I ▁wish ▁I ▁could ▁get ▁inside ▁this ▁gate .”
-▁Sam ira ▁was ▁disg usted .
-▁She ▁said , ▁“ I ▁don ’ t ▁want ▁to ▁eat ▁any ▁gr ass .
-▁Nor ▁any ▁bus hes .
-▁Even ▁id l is ▁would ▁taste ▁better ▁than ▁gr ass .
-▁And ▁I ▁am ▁g lad ▁the ▁gate ▁is ▁closed ▁because ▁the ▁h ib isc us ▁has ▁pretty ▁flowers ▁and ▁I ▁don ’ t ▁want ▁you ▁to ▁eat ▁them .”
-▁Sam ira ▁ran ▁back ▁to ▁her ▁classroom ▁and ▁opened ▁her ▁lunch ▁box .
-▁‘ How ▁nice ▁my ▁par ath as ▁and ▁br in j al ▁cur ry ▁are , ’ ▁she ▁thought ▁and ▁quickly ▁at e ▁them ▁up .
-▁" R ats hip i ▁was ▁known ▁by ▁everyone ▁in ▁the ▁village .
-▁They ▁went ▁to ▁his ▁shop ▁every ▁morning ▁to ▁watch ▁him ▁work .
-▁He ▁seemed ▁to ▁be ▁able ▁to ▁make ▁anything ▁with ▁his ▁ir on ▁and ▁ste el .
-▁K g os i ▁M og ale , ▁the ▁village ▁chief , ▁heard ▁about ▁R ats hip i ’ s ▁work .
-▁He ▁sent ▁his ▁serv ants ▁to ▁bring ▁R ats hip i ▁to ▁the ▁palace .
-▁R ats hip i ▁was ▁happy ▁to ▁hear ▁that ▁K g os i ▁M og ale ▁wanted ▁to ▁see ▁him .
-▁“ I ▁will ▁be ▁very ▁happy ▁to ▁work ▁for ▁the ▁chief ,” ▁he ▁said .
-▁So ▁R ats hip i ▁went ▁to ▁the ▁palace .
-▁“ R ats hip i , ▁I ▁have ▁heard ▁about ▁your ▁good ▁work ,” ▁said ▁K g os i ▁M og ale .
-▁“ I ▁want ▁you ▁to ▁do ▁a ▁very ▁special ▁task .”
-▁“ With ▁your ▁ir on ▁and ▁ste el , ▁I ▁want ▁you ▁to ▁build ▁a ▁man ▁who ▁can ▁walk , ▁c ry ▁real ▁tears ▁and ▁ble ed ▁real ▁human ▁blood .”
-▁“ I m pos sible ! ” ▁thought ▁R ats hip i .
-▁But ▁no ▁one ▁could ▁say ▁no ▁to ▁the ▁king ▁in ▁this ▁village .
-▁R ats hip i ▁could ▁not ▁sleep ▁that ▁night .
-▁How ▁was ▁he ▁going ▁to ▁do ▁this ▁impossible ▁task ?
-▁He ▁was ▁very ▁scared ▁and ▁very ▁worried .
-▁Sudden ly ▁R ats hip i ▁remembered ▁a ▁w ise ▁old ▁man ▁R ap u le .
-▁Per haps ▁he ▁could ▁help .
-▁But ▁where ▁was ▁R ap u le ?
-▁He ▁had ▁disappeared ▁from ▁the ▁village .
-▁People ▁said ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁because ▁he ▁had ▁dis ple ased ▁the ▁chief .
-▁The ▁next ▁morning ▁R ats hip i ▁did ▁not ▁go ▁to ▁his ▁shop .
-▁He ▁went ▁up ▁the ▁mount ains ▁to ▁think .
-▁While ▁walking ▁there , ▁he ▁saw ▁an ▁old ▁man ▁sitting ▁under ▁a ▁tree .
-▁It ▁was ▁old ▁R ap u le !
-▁“ I ▁am ▁so ▁ple ased ▁to ▁see ▁you ,” ▁said ▁R ats hip i .
-▁“ I ▁have ▁a ▁big ▁problem .”
-▁He ▁told ▁Old ▁R ap u le ▁the ▁whole ▁story .
-▁Old ▁R ap u le ▁thought ▁carefully , ▁and ▁then ▁he ▁said ...
-▁“ T ell ▁the ▁chief ▁that ▁you ▁will ▁need ▁a ▁thousand ▁buckets ▁full ▁of ▁tears ▁and ▁a ▁thousand ▁African ▁pots ▁full ▁of ▁h air .
-▁With ▁the ▁water , ▁you ▁will ▁make ▁blood .
-▁With ▁the ▁h air , ▁you ▁will ▁make ▁a ▁fire ▁to ▁strengthen ▁the ▁ste el ▁man .”
-▁“ Th ank ▁you , ▁thank ▁you ! ”
-▁R ats hip i ▁said , ▁running ▁back ▁to ▁the ▁palace .
-▁R ats hip i ▁said , ▁“ K g os i ▁M og ale , ▁to ▁do ▁what ▁you ▁ask , ▁I ▁will ▁need ▁two ▁things .
-▁A ▁thousand ▁buckets ▁full ▁of ▁tears ; ▁and ▁a ▁thousand ▁African ▁pots ▁filled ▁with ▁h air ▁from ▁the ▁heads ▁of ▁the ▁villagers .”
-▁K g os i ▁M og ale ▁agreed .
-▁He ▁asked ▁his ▁head men ▁to ▁tell ▁the ▁villagers .
-▁C ries ▁were ▁heard ▁from ▁every ▁corner ▁of ▁the ▁village .
-▁Young ▁and ▁old ▁people ▁c ried ▁day ▁and ▁night ▁to ▁fill ▁a ▁thousand ▁buckets ▁with ▁tears .
-▁Every ▁vill ager ’ s ▁head ▁was ▁sh aved ▁off ▁and ▁thrown ▁into ▁the ▁pots .
-▁But ▁the ▁tears ▁and ▁h air ▁of ▁all ▁the ▁villagers ▁were ▁not ▁enough ▁to ▁fill ▁the ▁buckets ▁and ▁pots .
-▁Ev ent ually ▁K g os i ▁M og ale ▁gave ▁up ▁and ▁called ▁R ats hip i ▁back ▁to ▁the ▁palace .
-▁“ R ats hip i , ▁you ▁are ▁a ▁w ise ▁man , ▁the ▁wis est ▁in ▁the ▁village ,” ▁said ▁K g os i ▁M og ale .
-▁“ Will ▁you ▁do ▁me ▁the ▁hon our ▁of ▁being ▁my ▁chief ▁head man ?”
-▁R ats hip i ▁sm iled .
-▁“ On ly ▁if ▁you ▁let ▁old ▁R ap u le ▁come ▁back ▁to ▁the ▁village ,” ▁he ▁replied .
-▁So ▁R ats hip i ▁became ▁chief ▁head man .
-▁T H E ▁SL A V E ▁M AR T ▁Having ▁decided ▁upon ▁the ▁fate ▁of ▁Kath ly n , ▁the ▁n atives ▁set ▁about ▁rec apt uring ▁the ▁wild ▁elephant .
-▁It ▁took ▁the ▁best ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁morning .
-▁When ▁this ▁was ▁acc om pl ished ▁the ▁journey ▁to ▁All aha ▁was ▁begun .
-▁But ▁for ▁the ▁days ▁of ▁peace ▁and ▁qu iet ▁of ▁the ▁wild ern ess ▁and ▁the ▁consequ ent ▁hard ness ▁of ▁her ▁f les h , ▁Kath ly n ▁would ▁have ▁suffered ▁greatly .
-▁H alf ▁the ▁time ▁she ▁was ▁com pe lled ▁to ▁walk .
-▁There ▁was ▁no ▁how d ah , ▁and ▁it ▁was ▁a ▁difficult ▁feat ▁to ▁sit ▁back ▁of ▁the ▁m ah out .
-▁The ▁rough ▁skin ▁of ▁the ▁elephant ▁had ▁the ▁same ▁effect ▁upon ▁the ▁cal ves ▁of ▁her ▁legs ▁that ▁sand p aper ▁would ▁have ▁had .
-▁Sometimes ▁she ▁st umb led ▁and ▁fell , ▁and ▁was ▁rude ly ▁j er ked ▁to ▁her ▁feet .
-▁Only ▁the ▁day ▁before ▁they ▁arrived ▁was ▁she ▁re lie ved ▁in ▁any ▁way : ▁she ▁was ▁given ▁a ▁l itter , ▁and ▁in ▁this ▁manner ▁she ▁entered ▁the ▁h ate ful ▁city .
-▁In ▁giving ▁her ▁the ▁l itter ▁the ▁chief ▁m ah out ▁had ▁been ▁ins p ired ▁by ▁no ▁express ions ▁of ▁p ity ; ▁simply ▁they ▁desired ▁her ▁to ▁appear ▁fresh ▁and ▁attract ive ▁when ▁they ▁carried ▁her ▁into ▁the ▁sl ave ▁m art .
-▁In ▁fit ful ▁d re ams ▁all ▁that ▁had ▁happened ▁came ▁back ▁to ▁her - - the ▁story ▁her ▁father ▁had ▁told ▁about ▁sa ving ▁the ▁old ▁king ' s ▁life , ▁and ▁the ▁g rim , ▁ir on ical ▁grat itude ▁in ▁making ▁Colonel ▁Hare ▁his ▁he ir - - as ▁if ▁such ▁things ▁could ▁be !
-▁And ▁then ▁her ▁own ▁journey ▁to ▁All aha ; ▁the ▁night mar ish ▁d ur bar , ▁during ▁which ▁she ▁had ▁been ▁crow ned ; ▁the ▁escape ▁from ▁the ▁ord e als ▁with ▁John ▁B ru ce ; ▁the ▁ter r ors ▁of ▁the ▁temple ▁of ▁the ▁sun ; ▁the ▁flight ▁from ▁there ▁. ▁. ▁.
-▁John ▁B ru ce !
-▁She ▁could ▁still ▁see ▁the ▁fire ▁in ▁his ▁eyes ; ▁she ▁could ▁still ▁feel ▁the ▁touch ▁of ▁his ▁g ent le ▁yet ▁t ire less ▁hand .
-▁W ould ▁she ▁ever ▁see ▁him ▁again ?
-▁On ▁the ▁way ▁to ▁the ▁m art ▁they ▁passed ▁under ▁the ▁shadow ▁of ▁the ▁g rim ▁prison ▁wall s ▁of ▁the ▁palace .
-▁The ▁elephants ▁ve ered ▁off ▁here ▁into ▁a ▁side ▁street , ▁to ward ▁the ▁huge ▁squ are ▁where ▁h ors es ▁and ▁c attle ▁and ▁elephants ▁were ▁bought ▁and ▁sold .
-▁The ▁l itter , ▁in ▁charge ▁of ▁the ▁chief ▁m ah out , ▁proceed ed ▁to ▁the ▁sl ave ▁m art .
-▁Kath ly n ▁gl anced ▁at ▁the ▁wall , ▁wond ering .
-▁Was ▁her ▁father ▁alive ?
-▁Was ▁he ▁in ▁some ▁ble ak ▁cell ▁behind ▁that ▁cr umb ling ▁m ason ry ?
-▁D id ▁he ▁know ▁that ▁she ▁was ▁here ?
-▁Or ▁was ▁he ▁really ▁dead ?
-▁Ah , ▁perhaps ▁it ▁were ▁better ▁that ▁death ▁should ▁have ▁taken ▁him - - bet ter ▁that ▁than ▁having ▁his ▁living ▁heart ▁w r ung ▁by ▁the ▁t ale ▁of ▁his ▁daughter ' s ▁un spe ak able ▁mis er ies .
-▁Even ▁as ▁she ▁sent ▁a ▁last ▁l ing ering ▁look ▁at ▁the ▁prison ▁the ▁prison er ▁within , ▁his ▁head ▁buried ▁in ▁his ▁th in ▁was ted ▁hands , ▁be he ld ▁her ▁in ▁a ▁vision - - b ut ▁in ▁a ▁happy , ▁j oy ous ▁vision , ▁bus ying ▁about ▁the ▁living ▁room ▁of ▁the ▁b ung al ow .
-▁And ▁far ▁away ▁a ▁younger ▁man ▁be he ld ▁a ▁vision ▁as ▁very ▁t ender ly ▁he ▁gaz ed ▁at ▁Kath ly n ' s ▁disc arded ▁rob e ▁and ▁resum ed ▁his ▁determined ▁quest .
-▁O ft en , ▁standing ▁b es ide ▁his ▁evening ▁fires , ▁he ▁would ▁ask ▁the ▁sil ence , ▁" K ath ly n , ▁where ▁are ▁you ?"
-▁Even ▁then ▁he ▁was ▁r iding ▁fast ▁to ward ▁All aha .
-▁A ▁sl ave ▁m art ▁is ▁a ▁rare ▁thing ▁these ▁days , ▁but ▁at ▁the ▁time ▁these ▁scen es ▁were ▁being ▁enacted ▁there ▁existed ▁many ▁of ▁them ▁here ▁and ▁there ▁across ▁the ▁face ▁of ▁the ▁g lob e .
-▁Men ▁buy ▁and ▁sell ▁men ▁and ▁women ��these ▁times - - en light ened , ▁so ▁they ▁say - - b ut ▁they ▁do ▁it ▁by ▁legal ▁contract ▁or ▁from ▁v ile ▁hiding ▁places .
-▁All aha ▁had ▁been ▁a ▁famous ▁m art ▁in ▁its ▁prime .
-▁It ▁had ▁drawn ▁the ▁ag ents ▁of ▁pr inces ▁from ▁all ▁over ▁India .
-▁Pers ia , ▁Bel oo ch istan , ▁Afghanistan , ▁and ▁even ▁southern ▁Russia ▁had ▁been ▁ri f led ▁of ▁their ▁beaut ies ▁to ▁ad orn ▁the ▁z en an as ▁of ▁the ▁sl oth ful ▁Hindu ▁pr inces .
-▁The ▁sl ave ▁m art ▁in ▁the ▁capital ▁town ▁of ▁All aha ▁stood ▁in ▁the ▁center ▁of ▁the ▁b aza ars , ▁a ▁great ▁squ are ▁platform ▁with ▁a ▁roof , ▁but ▁open ▁on ▁all ▁four ▁sides .
-▁Here ▁the ▁sl aves ▁were ▁ex hib ited , ▁the ▁poor ▁things ▁int ended ▁for ▁d al liance ▁and ▁those ▁who ▁were ▁to ▁struggle ▁and ▁swe at ▁and ▁die ▁under ▁the ▁over se er ' s ▁l ash .
-▁Every ▁fort night ▁a ▁day ▁was ▁set ▁aside ▁for ▁the ▁business ▁of ▁the ▁m art .
-▁Owners ▁and ▁prospe ctive ▁buy ers ▁met , ▁che w ed ▁bet el - n ut , ▁sm oked ▁their ▁h ook as , ▁s i pped ▁co ffe e ▁and ▁tea , ▁and ▁exch anged ▁the ▁t attle ▁of ▁the ▁hour .
-▁It ▁was ▁as ▁much ▁an ▁am use ment ▁as ▁a ▁business ; ▁ind eed , ▁it ▁was ▁the ▁ori ental ▁idea ▁of ▁a ▁club , ▁and ▁much ▁the ▁same ▁things ▁were ▁discussed .
-▁Thus , ▁App aj i ▁bought ▁a ▁beautiful ▁girl ▁at ▁the ▁last ▁bar ter ▁and ▁Ro ya ▁found ▁a ▁male ▁who ▁was ▁a ▁good ▁j ug g ler , ▁and ▁only ▁night ▁before ▁last ▁they ▁had ▁trad ed .
-▁The ▁b aza ars ▁were ▁not ▁what ▁they ▁used ▁to ▁be .
-▁D ew an ▁Ali ▁had ▁sold ▁his ▁wife ▁to ▁a ▁P un j ab ▁op ium ▁mer ch ant .
-▁A un ut ▁Singh ' s ▁daughter ▁had ▁run ▁away ▁with ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁a ▁b he est ee .
-▁All ▁white ▁people ▁at e ▁pig .
-▁And ▁no ▁one ▁read ▁the ▁sl ok as , ▁or ▁moral , ▁st an z as , ▁any ▁more .
-▁Yes , ▁the ▁English ▁would ▁come ▁some ▁day , ▁when ▁there ▁would ▁be ▁enough ▁money ▁to ▁warrant ▁it .
-▁All ▁about ▁there ▁were ▁b ark ers , ▁and ▁fru it ▁sell ers , ▁and ▁b ang le ▁wall as ▁( for ▁sl ave ▁girls ▁should ▁have ▁r ings ▁of ▁rupee ▁silver ▁about ▁their ▁an k les ▁and ▁w r ists ), ▁and ▁so le m n ▁B rah min s , ▁and ▁men ▁who ▁pain ted ▁red ▁and ▁o c her ▁caste ▁marks ▁on ▁one ' s ▁fore head , ▁and ▁ash ▁covered ▁f ak ir s ▁with ▁w it he red ▁hands , ▁N aut ch ▁girls , ▁girls ▁from ▁the ▁b aza ars , ▁per ip at etic ▁j ew el ers , ▁k ites , ▁and ▁red - head ed ▁v ult ures - - th is ▁being ▁a ▁proper ▁place ▁for ▁them .
-▁The ▁chief ▁m ah out ▁purchased ▁for ▁Kath ly n ▁a ▁beautiful ▁sa ree , ▁or ▁ve il , ▁which ▁part ially ▁conce aled ▁her ▁face ▁and ▁h air .
-▁" Ch alu !" ▁he ▁said , ▁touch ing ▁Kath ly n ' s ▁should er , ▁whe ne ver ▁she ▁l ag ged , ▁for ▁they ▁had ▁disp ensed ▁with ▁the ▁l itter , ▁" G o ▁on !"
-▁She ▁understood .
-▁Out ward ly ▁she ▁appeared ▁pass ive ▁enough , ▁but ▁her ▁s oul ▁was ▁on ▁fire ▁and ▁her ▁eyes ▁as ▁brilliant ▁as ▁those ▁of ▁the ▁cir cl ing , ▁who op ing ▁k ites , ▁watching ▁that ▁moment ▁which ▁was ▁to ▁offer ▁some ▁lo oph ole .
-▁On ▁through ▁the ▁no is y ▁b aza ars , ▁the ▁object ▁of ▁many ▁a ▁c uri ous ▁remark , ▁som etimes ▁ins ulted ▁by ▁the ▁pain ted ▁women ▁at ▁the ▁window s , ▁som etimes ▁j est ed ▁at ▁by ▁the ▁id l ers ▁around ▁the ▁mer ch ants ' ▁b ooth s .
-▁V ague ly ▁she ▁wond ered ▁if ▁some ▁one ▁of ▁her ▁an c est ors ▁had ▁not ▁been ▁ter rib ly ▁w ick ed ▁and ▁that ▁she ▁was ▁paying ▁the ▁penalty .
-▁It ▁seemed ▁to ▁her , ▁however , ▁that ▁a ▁film ▁of ▁ste el ▁had ▁grown ▁over ▁her ▁n erves ; ▁nothing ▁start led ▁her ; ▁she ▁sens ed ▁only ▁the ▁watch ful ness ▁she ▁had ▁often ▁noted ▁in ▁the ▁capt ives ▁at ▁the ▁farm .
-▁At ▁length ▁they ▁came ▁out ▁into ▁the ▁busy ▁m art .
-▁The ▁old ▁m ah out ▁cong ratul ated ▁himself ▁upon ▁the ▁d oc ility ▁of ▁his ▁find .
-▁It ▁would ▁st iff en ▁the ▁b id ding ▁to ▁announce ▁that ▁she ▁was ▁g ent le .
-▁He ▁even ▁went ▁so ▁far ▁as ▁to ▁pat ▁her ▁on ▁the ▁should er .
-▁The ▁ste el ▁film ▁did ▁not ▁cover ▁all ▁her ▁n erves , ▁so ▁it ▁would ▁seem ; ▁the ▁pat ted ▁should er ▁was ▁vul ner able .
-▁She ▁win ced , ▁for ▁she ▁read ▁clearly ▁enough ▁what ▁was ▁in ▁the ▁mind ▁back ▁of ▁that ▁touch .
-▁She ▁had ▁made ▁her ▁plans .
-▁To ▁the ▁man ▁who ▁purchased ▁her ▁she ▁would ▁ass um e ▁a ▁me ek ness ▁of ▁spirit ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁l ull ▁his ▁watch ful ness .
-▁To ▁the ▁man ▁who ▁purchased ▁her ▁. ▁. ▁.
-▁Kath ly n ▁Hare !
-▁She ▁l aug hed .
-▁The ▁old ▁man ▁behind ▁her ▁n od d ed ▁appro ving ly , ▁hearing ▁the ▁sound ▁but ▁not ▁sens ing ▁its ▁import .
-▁Ah , ▁when ▁the ▁moment ▁came , ▁when ▁the ▁fool ▁who ▁bought ▁her ▁started ▁to ▁lead ▁her ▁home , ▁she ▁would ▁be g u ile ▁him ▁and ▁at ▁the ▁first ▁sign ▁of ▁care less ness ▁she ▁would ▁trust ▁to ▁her ▁he els .
-▁She ▁knew ▁that ▁she ▁was ▁going ▁to ▁run ▁as ▁never ▁a ▁woman ▁ran ▁before ; ▁back ▁to ▁the ▁be asts ▁of ▁the ▁j ung le , ▁who ▁at ▁least ▁made ▁no ▁effort ▁to ▁m ol est ▁her ▁so ▁long ▁as ▁she ▁kept ▁out ▁of ▁their ▁way .
-▁Wild ▁and ▁beautiful ▁she ▁was ▁as ▁the ▁old ▁m ah out ▁turned ▁her ▁over ▁to ▁a ▁professional ▁sell er .
-▁" C ir c ass ian !"
-▁" From ▁the ▁north !"
-▁" A ▁bride ▁from ▁the ▁des ert !"
-▁" A ▁y ellow - h air !"
-▁" A ▁daughter ▁of ▁the ▁north ▁se as !"
-▁The ▁old ▁m ah out ▁squ at ted ▁close ▁by ▁and ▁rub bed ▁his ▁hands .
-▁He ▁would ▁be ▁a ▁r ich ▁man ▁that ▁night ; ▁bags ▁of ▁rupees ; ▁a ▁well ▁that ched ▁house ▁to ▁cover ▁his ▁gr ay ▁h airs ▁till ▁that ▁day ▁they ▁placed ▁him ▁on ▁the ▁py re ▁at ▁the ▁burning ▁g h at .
-▁The ▁go ds ▁were ▁good .
-▁Dur ga ▁Ram , ▁known ▁famil iar ly ▁as ▁U m ball a , ▁at ▁this ▁hour ▁came ▁forth ▁into ▁the ▁sun sh ine , ▁bro o ding .
-▁He ▁was ▁not ▁in ▁a ▁happy ▁frame ▁of ▁mind .
-▁Many ▁things ▁lay ▁heavy ▁upon ▁his ▁s oul ; ▁but ▁among ▁these ▁things ▁there ▁was ▁not ▁one ▁named ▁rem or se .
-▁To ▁have ▁brought ▁about ▁all ▁these ▁fail ures ▁this ▁thought ▁ir ked ▁him ▁most .
-▁Here ▁was ▁a ▁crow n ▁almost ▁within ▁reach ▁of ▁his ▁g reed y ▁fingers , ▁the ▁water ▁to ▁T ant al us .
-▁To ▁have ▁unde rest im ated ▁this ▁y ellow ▁h aired ▁young ▁woman , ▁he ▁who ▁knew ▁women ▁so ▁well - - there ▁lay ▁the ▁bitter ▁st ing .
-▁He ▁had ▁been ▁too ▁imp et u ous ; ▁he ▁should ▁have ▁wa ited ▁till ▁all ▁her ▁fears ▁had ▁been ▁all ay ed .
-▁That ▁sp awn ▁of ▁Siv a , ▁the ▁military , ▁was ▁ins ol ent ▁again , ▁and ▁rupees ▁to ▁cross ▁their ▁p al ms ▁were ▁sc ar ce .
-▁Wh ither ▁had ▁she ▁bl own ?
-▁Was ▁she ▁dead ?
-▁Was ▁she ▁alive ?
-▁The ▁white ▁hun ter ▁had ▁not ▁returned ▁to ▁his ▁camp ▁yet , ▁but ▁the ▁s ly ▁Ah med ▁was ▁there .
-▁The ▁perpet ual ▁gl oom ▁on ▁the ▁face ▁of ▁the ▁lat ter ▁was ▁re ass uring ▁to ▁U m ball a .
-▁Ah med ' s ▁master ▁had ▁not ▁found ▁her .
-▁To ▁w ring ▁the ▁white ▁man ' s ▁heart ▁was ▁something .
-▁He ▁d ared ▁not ▁put ▁him ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁way ; ▁too ▁many ▁knew .
-▁And ▁the ▁council ▁was ▁beginning ▁to ▁grow ▁un e as y .
-▁How ▁long ▁could ▁he ▁hold ▁them ▁in ▁le ash ?
-▁What ▁a ▁woman !
-▁As ▁magn ific ent ▁as ▁the ▁daughter ▁of ▁F i ro z , ▁sh ah ▁of ▁Delhi .
-▁F ear ▁she ▁knew ▁not .
-▁At ▁one ▁moment ▁he ▁loved ▁her ▁with ▁his ▁whole ▁s oul , ▁at ▁another ▁he ▁h ated ▁her , ▁long ed ▁to ▁get ▁her ▁into ▁his ▁hands ▁again , ▁to ▁w re ak ▁his ▁v enge ance ▁upon ▁her ▁for ▁the ▁hum iliation ▁she ▁had ▁by ▁w it ▁and ▁courage ▁he aped ▁upon ▁him .
-▁" I ▁am ▁ready !"
-▁He ▁could ▁hear ▁it ▁yet .
-▁When ▁they ▁had ▁led ▁her ▁away ▁to ▁the ▁ord e als - - " I ▁am ▁ready !"
-▁A ▁woman , ▁and ▁not ▁afraid ▁to ▁die !
-▁M oney !
-▁How ▁to ▁get ▁it !
-▁He ▁could ▁not ▁pl un ge ▁his ▁hand ▁into ▁the ▁tre asury ; ▁there ▁were ▁too ▁many ▁about , ▁too ▁many ▁t ong ues .
-▁But ▁Colonel ▁Hare ▁knew ▁where ▁the ▁silver ▁bas ket ▁lay ▁h idden , ▁he aped ▁with ▁gold ▁and ▁pre cious ▁stones ; ▁and ▁torture ▁could ▁not ▁w ring ▁the ▁hiding - place ▁from ▁him .
-▁May ▁he ▁be ▁dam ned ▁to ▁the ▁net her most ▁he ll !
-▁L et ▁him , ▁Dur ga ▁Ram , ▁but ▁bury ▁his ▁le an ▁hands ▁in ▁that ▁tre asure , ▁and ▁Dar aka ▁sw all ow ▁All aha ▁and ▁all ▁its ▁k ings !
-▁R ub ies ▁and ▁p earl s ▁and ▁emer al ds , ▁and ▁a ▁far ▁country ▁to ▁id le ▁in , ▁to ▁be ▁fet ed ▁in , ▁to ▁be ▁f aw ned ▁upon ▁for ▁his ▁ric hes !
-▁And ▁Ram ab ai ▁and ▁his ▁wife , ▁P und ita , ▁let ▁them ▁be ware ; ▁let ▁them ▁remain ▁w ise ly ▁in ▁their ▁house ▁and ▁med dle ▁not ▁with ▁affairs ▁of ▁state .
-▁" A ▁thousand ▁rupees !"
-▁U m ball a ▁looked ▁up ▁with ▁a ▁start .
-▁Un con sc iously ▁he ▁had ▁w and ered ▁into ▁the ▁sl ave ▁m art .
-▁He ▁sh rugg ed ▁and ▁would ▁have ▁passed ▁on ▁but ▁for ▁the ▁strange , ▁un us ual ▁figure ▁standing ▁on ▁the ▁platform .
-▁A ▁gold en ▁h aired ▁woman ▁with ▁ne ck ▁and ▁arms ▁like ▁Chinese ▁bronze ▁and ▁dressed ▁in ▁a ▁sk irt ▁of ▁gr ass !
-▁He ▁p aus ed .
-▁" T wo ▁thousand ▁rupees !"
-▁" What !" ▁j e ered ▁the ▁professional ▁sell er .
-▁" For ▁an ▁h ou ri ▁from ▁par adise ?
-▁O ▁y e ▁of ▁weak ▁hear ts , ▁what ▁is ▁this ▁I ▁hear ?
-▁Two ▁thousand ▁rupees ? - - for ▁an ▁h ou ri ▁fit ▁to ▁d well ▁in ▁the ▁z en ana ▁of ▁he a ven !"
-▁A ▁keen - ey ed ▁Mohammed an ▁ed ged ▁closer ▁to ▁the ▁platform .
-▁He ▁st ared ▁and ▁suc ked ▁in ▁his ▁bre ath .
-▁He ▁found ▁himself ▁pulled ▁two ▁ways .
-▁He ▁had ▁no ▁money , ▁but ▁he ▁had ▁knowledge .
-▁" Wh o ▁sell s ▁this ▁ma iden ?" ▁he ▁asked .
-▁" M oh ammed ▁G h ori ."
-▁" Wh ich ▁is ▁he ?"
-▁" H e ▁squ ats ▁there ."
-▁The ▁Mohammed an ▁stopped ▁and ▁touc hed ▁the ▁old ▁m ah out ▁on ▁the ▁should er .
-▁" C all ▁off ▁this ▁sale , ▁and ▁my ▁master ▁will ▁make ▁you ▁r ich ."
-▁The ▁old ▁s in ner ▁g inger ly ▁felt ▁of ▁the ▁speaker ' s ▁c ot ton ▁gar b .
-▁" A h !
-▁My ▁master ' ▁must ▁be ▁r ich ▁to ▁dress ▁the e ▁in ▁c ot ton .
-▁W here ▁is ▁your ▁gold ?
-▁B id ," ▁sat ir ically .
-▁" T wo ▁thousand ▁rupees !" ▁shout ed ▁the ▁professional ▁sell er .
-▁" I ▁have ▁no ▁gold , ▁but ▁my ▁master ▁will ▁give ▁10,000 ▁rupees ▁for ▁y ond er ▁ma id .
-▁Qu ick !
-▁Old ▁fool , ▁be ▁quick !"
-▁" B e gone , ▁th ou ▁be gg ar !"
-▁And ▁the ▁old ▁man ▁sp at .
-▁" M em - sa hib ," ▁the ▁Mohammed an ▁called ▁out ▁in ▁English , ▁" do ▁not ▁look ▁to ward ▁me , ▁or ▁all ▁will ▁be ▁lost .
-▁I ▁am ▁Ali , ▁B ru ce ▁Sa hib ' s ▁chief ▁m ah out ; ▁and ▁we ▁have ▁believed ▁you ▁dead !
-▁T ake ▁care !
-▁I ▁go ▁to ▁inform ▁Ah med .
-▁B ru ce ▁Sa hib ▁has ▁not ▁returned ."
-▁Kath ly n , ▁when ▁she ▁heard ▁that ▁voice , ▁shut ▁her ▁eyes .
-▁U m ball a ▁had ▁drawn ▁closer .
-▁There ▁was ▁something ▁about ▁this ▁half ▁ve iled ▁sl ave ▁that ▁st ir red ▁his ▁rec ol le ction .
-▁W here ▁had ▁he ▁seen ▁that ▁g race ful ▁po ise ?
-▁The ▁clear ness ▁of ▁the ▁skin , ▁though ▁dark ; ▁the ▁round ness ▁of ▁the ▁th roat ▁and ▁arms . ▁. ▁. ▁.
-▁" Th ree ▁thousand ▁rupees !"
-▁The ▁old ▁m ah out ▁pur red ▁and ▁sm oot hed ▁his ▁p al ms ▁together .
-▁Three ▁thousand ▁rupees , ▁a ▁r aj ah ' s ▁r ans om !
-▁He ▁would ▁own ▁his ▁elephant ; ▁his ▁wife ▁should ▁r ide ▁in ▁a ▁g ild ed ▁p al an qu in , ▁and ▁his ▁children ▁should ▁wear ▁sh oes .
-▁Three ▁thousand ▁rupees !
-▁He ▁f old ed ▁his ▁arms ▁and ▁walked ▁g ently ▁to ▁and ▁f ro .
-▁" F ive ▁thousand ▁rupees !" ▁said ▁U m ball a , ▁impe lled ▁by ▁he ▁knew ▁not ▁what ▁to ▁make ▁this ▁b id .
-▁A ▁ri pp le ▁of ▁surprise ▁ran ▁over ▁the ▁crowd .
-▁The ▁reg ent , ▁the ▁powerful ▁Dur ga ▁Ram , ▁was ▁b id ding ▁in ▁person ▁for ▁his ▁z en ana .
-▁Kath ly n ' s ▁n erves ▁t ing led ▁with ▁life ▁again , ▁and ▁the ▁sudden ▁bound ing ▁of ▁her ▁heart ▁st if led ▁her .
-▁U m ball a !
-▁She ▁was ▁sure ly ▁lost .
-▁S oon er ▁or ▁later ▁he ▁would ▁recognize ▁her .
-▁The ▁m ah out ▁stood ▁up , ▁del ighted .
-▁He ▁was ▁ind eed ▁fort unate .
-▁He ▁s ala amed .
-▁" H u z oor , ▁she ▁is ▁g ent le ," ▁he ▁said .
-▁The ▁high - c as te ▁who ▁had ▁b id ▁3,000 ▁rupees ▁s ala amed ▁also .
-▁" H igh ness , ▁she ▁is ▁your s ," ▁he ▁said .
-▁" I ▁can ▁not ▁b id ▁against ▁my ▁reg ent ."
-▁It ▁was ▁the ▁custom ▁to ▁mark ▁a ▁purchased ▁sl ave ▁with ▁the ▁caste ▁of ▁her ▁purch as er .
-▁U m ball a , ▁still ▁not ▁recogn izing ▁her , ▁w aved ▁her ▁aside ▁to ward ▁the ▁B rah min ▁caste ▁mar kers , ▁one ▁of ▁whom ▁d a ub ed ▁her ▁fore head ▁with ▁a ▁y ellow ▁tri ang le .
-▁Her ▁bl ue ▁eyes ▁p ier ced ▁the ▁c uri ous ▁b rown ▁ones .
-▁" The ▁sa hib ▁at ▁the ▁river ," ▁she ▁wh is pe red ▁in ▁broken ▁H in dust ani .
-▁" Many ▁rupees . ▁Br ing ▁him ▁to ▁the ▁house ▁of ▁Dur ga ▁Ram ."
-▁This ▁in ▁case ▁Ali ▁failed .
-▁The ▁B rah min ' s ▁eyes ▁tw ink led .
-▁Her ▁H in dust ani ▁was ▁exec r able , ▁but ▁" sa hib " ▁and ▁" ri ver " ▁were ▁pl ain ▁to ▁his ▁understanding .
-▁There ▁was ▁but ▁one ▁sa hib ▁by ▁the ▁river , ▁and ▁he ▁was ▁the ▁white ▁hun ter ▁who ▁had ▁rescued ▁the ▁van ished ▁que en ▁from ▁the ▁ord e als .
-▁He ▁n od d ed ▁almost ▁im per cept ib ly .
-▁In ward ly ▁he ▁sm iled .
-▁He ▁was ▁not ▁above ▁giving ▁the ▁h augh ty ▁up st art ▁a ▁Th ug ge e ' s ▁tw ist .
-▁He ▁spoke ▁to ▁his ▁neighb or ▁qu iet ly , ▁assigned ▁to ▁him ▁his ▁bowl s ▁and ▁br us hes , ▁ro se , ▁and ▁made ▁off .
-▁" F ollow ▁me ," ▁said ▁U m ball a ▁to ▁the ▁happy ▁m ah out .
-▁P resent ly ▁he ▁would ▁have ▁his ▁bags ▁of ▁silver , ▁b right ▁and ▁tw ink ling .
-▁F ate ▁over t ook ▁Ali , ▁who ▁in ▁his ▁mad ▁race ▁to ▁Hare ' s ▁camp ▁fell ▁and ▁bad ly ▁sp r ained ▁his ▁an k le .
-▁Mo an ing , ▁less ▁from ▁the ▁pain ▁than ▁from ▁the ▁attend ant ▁helpl ess ness , ▁he ▁was ▁carried ▁into ▁the ▁h ut ▁of ▁a ▁kind ly ▁r y ot ▁and ▁there ▁min istered ▁to .
-▁The ▁B rah min , ▁however , ▁filled ▁with ▁g reed ▁and ▁a ▁s ly ▁hum or , ▁reached ▁his ▁dest ination ▁in ▁safety .
-▁N at urally ▁c un ning , ▁double ▁t ong u ed , ▁s ly , ▁in gr ati ating , ▁after ▁the ▁manner ▁of ▁all ▁B rah min s , ▁who ▁will ▁s ink ▁to ▁any ▁base ▁level ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁att ain ▁their ▁equ iv ocal ▁ends ▁his ▁actions ▁were ▁un ham pe red ▁by ▁any ▁sense ▁of ▁tre acher y ▁to ward ▁U m ball a .
-▁A ▁Th ug ge e ' s ▁tw ist ▁to ▁the ▁schemes ▁of ▁the ▁street ▁r at ▁U m ball a , ▁who ▁w ore ▁the ▁B rah min ▁str ing , ▁to ▁which ▁he ▁had ▁no ▁right !
-▁The ▁B rah min ▁ch uck led ▁as ▁he ▁p aus ed ▁at ▁the ▁edge ▁of ▁B ru ce ' s ▁camp .
-▁A ▁fat ▁pur se ▁lay ▁y ond er .
-▁He ▁appro ached , ▁his ▁out ward ▁dem e an or ▁a ▁m ixt ure ▁of ▁pr ide ▁and ▁hum ility .
-▁B ru ce ▁had ▁returned ▁but ▁half ▁an ▁hour ▁before , ▁mind ▁we ary , ▁b one ▁t ired .
-▁He ▁sat ▁with ▁his ▁head ▁in ▁his ▁hands , ▁his ▁el b ows ▁pro pped ▁upon ▁his ▁k ne es .
-▁His ▁young ▁heart ▁was ▁heavy .
-▁He ▁had ▁searched ▁the ▁be w ild ering ▁j ung le ▁as ▁one ▁might ▁search ▁a ▁pl ot ▁of ▁gr ass ▁before ▁one ' s ▁door , ▁bl ade ▁by ▁bl ade .
-▁A ▁hundred ▁times ▁he ▁had ▁found ▁tr aces ▁of ▁her ; ▁a ▁hundred ▁times ▁he ▁had ▁called ▁out ▁her ▁name , ▁only ▁to ▁be ▁m ocked ▁and ▁g ib b ered ▁at ▁by ▁ap es .
-▁She ▁had ▁van ished ▁like ▁a ▁per f um e , ▁like ▁a ▁cloud ▁shadow ▁in ▁the ▁wind .
-▁His ▁s oul ▁was ▁bitter ; ▁for ▁he ▁had ▁built ▁many ▁d re ams , ▁and ▁always ▁this ▁fair ▁h aired ▁girl ▁had ▁rid d en ▁upon ▁them .
-▁So ▁straight ▁she ▁stood , ▁so ▁calm ▁in ▁the ▁eyes , ▁man ne red ▁with ▁that ▁g ent l en ess , ▁known ▁of ▁the ▁br ave . ▁. ▁. ▁.
-▁G one , ▁and ▁sk ill ed ▁as ▁he ▁was ▁in ▁j ung le ▁l ore , ▁he ▁could ▁not ▁find ▁her .
-▁" S a hib , ▁a ▁B rah min ▁des ires ▁aud ience ."
-▁" As k ▁him ▁what ▁he ▁wants ."
-▁" It ▁is ▁for ▁the ▁sa hib ' s ▁ear ▁alone ."
-▁" A h ! ▁Br ing ▁him ▁to ▁me ▁quickly ."
-▁The ▁B rah min ▁appro ached , ▁s ala amed .
-▁" What ▁do ▁you ▁wish ?"
-▁B ru ce ▁asked ▁cur t ly .
-▁" A ▁thousand ▁rupees , ▁H u z oor !" ▁b land ly .
-▁" And ▁what ▁have ▁you ▁that ▁is ▁worth ▁that ▁many ▁rupees ?" ▁ir rit ably .
-▁The ▁B rah min ▁s ala amed ▁again .
-▁" H u z oor , ▁a ▁sl ave ▁this ▁day ▁was ▁purchased ▁by ▁Dur ga ▁Ram , ▁U m ball a , ▁so - called . ▁She ▁has ▁skin ▁the ▁col or ▁of ▁old ▁t us ks , ▁and ▁eyes ▁like ▁tur qu o ise , ▁and ▁l ips ▁like ▁the ▁fl ame ▁of ▁the ▁j ung le , ▁and ▁h air ▁like ▁the ▁sand s ▁of ▁G anges , ▁mother ▁of ▁ri vers ."
-▁B ru ce ▁was ▁upon ▁his ▁feet , ▁alive , ▁e ager .
-▁He ▁caught ▁the ▁B rah min ▁by ▁the ▁arm .
-▁" Is ▁this ▁woman ▁white ?" ▁h ars h ly .
-▁" H u z oor , ▁the ▁women ▁of ▁All aha ▁are ▁always ▁dark ▁of ▁h air ."
-▁" And ▁was ▁sold ▁as ▁a ▁sl ave ?"
-▁" To ▁Dur ga ▁Ram , ▁the ▁king ▁without ▁a ▁crow n , ▁H u z oor . ▁It ▁is ▁worth ▁a ▁thousand ▁rupees ," ▁smiling .
-▁" T ell ▁me ," ▁said ▁B ru ce , ▁still ing ▁the ▁t rem or ▁in ▁his ▁voice , ▁" t ell ▁me , ▁did ▁she ▁follow ▁him ▁without ▁a ▁struggle ?"
-▁" Y es . ▁But ▁would ▁a ▁struggle ▁have ▁done ▁any ▁good ?"
-▁B ru ce ▁took ▁out ▁his ▁w alle t ▁and ▁count ed ▁out ▁a ▁thousand ▁rupees ▁in ▁Bank ▁of ▁India ▁not es .
-▁" Now , ▁listen .
-▁U m ball a ▁must ▁not ▁know ▁that ▁I ▁know .
-▁On ▁your ▁head , ▁remember ."
-▁" H u z z or , ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁a ▁B rah min ."
-▁" A h , ▁y es ; ▁but ▁I ▁have ▁lived ▁long ▁here . ▁W here ▁is ▁Ali ?" ▁c ried ▁B ru ce , ▁turning ▁to ▁one ▁of ▁his ▁men .
-▁" H e ▁went ▁into ▁the ▁city ▁this ▁morning , ▁Sa hib , ▁and ▁has ▁not ▁returned ."
-▁" C ome ," ▁said ▁B ru ce ▁to ▁the ▁waiting ▁B rah min , ▁" We ' ll ▁return ▁together ."
-▁He ▁now ▁felt ▁no ▁exc ite ment ▁at ▁all ; ▁it ▁was ▁as ▁if ▁he ▁had ▁been ▁imm ers ed ▁in ▁ice ▁water .
-▁It ▁was ▁Kath ly n , ▁not ▁the ▁least ▁doubt ▁of ▁it , ▁bought ▁and ▁sold ▁in ▁the ▁sl ave ▁m art .
-▁M is ery , ▁deg rad ation ▁. ▁. ▁. ▁then ▁he ▁sm iled .
-▁He ▁knew ▁Kath ly n ▁Hare .
-▁If ▁he ▁did ▁not ▁come ▁to ▁her ▁aid ▁quickly ▁she ▁would ▁be ▁dead .
-▁Now , ▁when ▁U m ball a ▁took ▁her ▁into ▁his ▁house , ▁Kath ly n ▁was ▁determined ▁to ▁reveal ▁her ▁identity .
-▁She ▁had ▁passed ▁through ▁the ▁ord e als ; ▁she ▁was , ▁in ▁law , ▁a ▁que en , ▁with ▁life ▁and ▁death ▁in ▁her ▁hands .
-▁" Do ▁not ▁touch ▁me !" ▁she ▁c ried ▁slow ly ▁in ▁English .
-▁U m ball a ▁ste pped ▁back .
-▁" I ▁am ▁Kath ly n ▁Hare , ▁and ▁if ▁all ▁the ▁world ▁is ▁not ▁made ▁up ▁of ▁lies ▁and ▁w ick ed ness , ▁I ▁am ▁the ▁que en ▁you ▁yourself ▁made .
-▁I ▁can ▁speak ▁a ▁few ▁words , ▁enough ▁to ▁make ▁myself ▁known ▁to ▁the ▁popul ace .
-▁I ▁will ▁make ▁a ▁b arg ain ▁with ▁you .
-▁I ▁will ▁give ▁you ▁five ▁times ▁five ▁thousand ▁rupees ▁if ▁you ▁will ▁deliver ▁me ▁safely ▁in ▁P esh aw er .
-▁On ▁my ▁part , ▁I ▁promise ▁to ▁say ▁nothing , ▁nothing ."
-▁U m ball a ▁raised ▁both ▁his ▁hands ▁in ▁ast on ish ment .
-▁He ▁knew ▁now ▁why ▁that ▁form ▁had ▁st ir red ▁his ▁rec ol le ction .
-▁" You !"
-▁He ▁l aug hed ▁and ▁cl apped ▁his ▁hands ▁to ▁summ on ▁his ▁serv ants .
-▁Kath ly n , ▁real izing ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁us eless ▁to ▁attempt ▁to ▁move ▁this ▁man , ▁turned ▁and ▁started ▁to ▁run , ▁but ▁he ▁inter ce pted ▁her .
-▁" My ▁que en , ▁my ▁bride ▁that ▁was ▁to ▁be , ▁the ▁gold en ▁h ou ri ! ▁Five ▁times ▁five ▁thousand ▁rupees ▁would ▁not ▁purchase ▁a ▁h air ▁of ▁your ▁head ."
-▁" I ▁am ▁your ▁que en !"
-▁But ▁she ▁said ▁it ▁without ▁heart .
-▁" What !
-▁Do ▁you ▁believe ▁that ?
-▁Having ▁passed ▁the ▁ord e als ▁you ▁n ull ified ▁the ▁effect ▁by ▁running ▁away .
-▁You ▁will ▁be ▁whatever ▁I ▁cho ose !
-▁O h , ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁legally ▁done .
-▁You ▁shall ▁go ▁with ▁me ▁to ▁the ▁council , ▁and ▁the ▁four ▁of ▁us ▁shall ▁decide .
-▁Ah , ▁you ▁would ▁not ▁be ▁my ▁wife !"
-▁" You ▁shall ▁die , ▁Dur ga ▁Ram ," ▁she ▁replied , ▁" and ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁the ▁death ▁of ▁a ▁par iah ▁dog ."
-▁" A h !
-▁St ill ▁that ▁spirit ▁which ▁I ▁loved .
-▁Why , ▁did ▁I ▁not ▁buy ▁you ▁without ▁know ing ▁who ▁you ▁were ?
-▁Are ▁you ▁not ▁m ine ?
-▁At ▁this ▁very ▁moment ▁I ▁could ▁place ▁you ▁in ▁my ▁z en ana ▁and ▁who ▁would ▁ever ▁know ?
-▁And ▁soon ▁you ▁would ▁not ▁want ▁any ▁one ▁to ▁know ."
-▁" A re ▁you ▁without ▁mer cy ?"
-▁" M er cy ?
-▁I ▁know ▁not ▁the ▁word .
-▁But ▁I ▁have ▁an ▁amb ition ▁which ▁sur p ass es ▁all ▁other ▁things .
-▁My ▁wife ▁you ▁shall ▁be , ▁or ▁worse .
-▁But ▁legally , ▁always ▁legally !"
-▁He ▁l aug hed ▁again ▁and ▁sw if t ly ▁caught ▁her ▁in ▁his ▁arms .
-▁She ▁strugg led ▁like ▁a ▁t ig ress , ▁but ▁without ▁avail .
-▁He ▁covered ▁her ▁face ▁and ▁ne ck ▁with ▁k iss es , ▁then ▁th r ust ▁her ▁aside .
-▁" P oor ▁little ▁fool !
-▁If ▁you ▁had ▁wh ined ▁and ▁wh im pe red ▁I ▁should ▁have ▁let ▁you ▁go ▁long ▁since .
-▁But ▁there ▁burn s ▁within ▁you ▁a ▁spirit ▁I ▁must ▁con qu er , ▁and ▁con qu er ▁I ▁will !"
-▁Kath ly n ▁stood ▁p ant ing ▁against ▁a ▁p ill ar .
-▁H ad ▁she ▁held ▁a ▁weapon ▁in ▁her ▁hand ▁she ▁would ▁have ▁killed ▁him ▁without ▁comp unction , ▁as ▁one ▁cr us hes ▁a ▁poison ous ▁vi per .
-▁" Le g ally !
-▁Why , ▁all ▁the ▁crimes ▁in ▁H ind ▁are ▁done ▁under ▁that ▁word .
-▁It ▁is ▁the ▁sh ib bo le th ▁of ▁the ▁British ▁Raj .
-▁Le g ally !
-▁C ome !"
-▁" I ▁will ▁not ▁st ir !"
-▁" Then ▁be ▁carried ," ▁he ▁replied , ▁bec k on ing ▁his ▁serv ants .
-▁" No , ▁no !"
-▁" A h ! ▁Well , ▁then , ▁we ' ll ▁r ide ▁together ▁in ▁the ▁p al an qu in ."
-▁To ▁struggle ▁would ▁reward ▁her ▁with ▁nothing ▁but ▁shame ▁and ▁hum iliation ; ▁so ▁she ▁b ent ▁her ▁head ▁to ▁the ▁in ev itable .
-▁A ▁pass ion ate ▁long ing ▁to ▁be ▁reven ged ▁upon ▁this ▁man ▁began ▁to ▁consum e ▁her .
-▁She ▁wanted ▁the ▁feel ▁of ▁his ▁b rown ▁th roat ▁in ▁her ▁fingers ; ▁wanted ▁to ▁beat ▁him ▁down ▁to ▁his ▁k ne es , ▁to ▁tw ist ▁and ▁cr ush ▁him .
-▁But ▁she ▁was ▁a ▁woman ▁and ▁she ▁had ▁not ▁the ▁strength ▁of ▁a ▁man .
-▁" B e hold !" ▁c ried ▁U m ball a ▁later , ▁as ▁he ▁entered ▁the ▁presence ▁of ▁the ▁council , ▁" be hold ▁a ▁sl ave ▁of ▁m ine !"
-▁He ▁pushed ▁Kath ly n ▁forward .
-▁" This ▁day ▁I ▁bought ▁her ▁for ▁five ▁thousand ▁rupees ."
-▁The ▁council ▁st ir red ▁n erv ously .
-▁" Do ▁you ▁not ▁recognize ▁her ?" ▁ex ult ant ly .
-▁The ▁council ▁wh is pe red ▁to ▁one ▁another .
-▁" Le g ally ▁she ▁is ▁m ine , ▁though ▁she ▁has ▁been ▁a ▁que en .
-▁But ▁by ▁running ▁away ▁she ▁has ▁for fe ited ▁her ▁rights ▁to ▁the ▁law ▁of ▁the ▁ord e als .
-▁Am ▁I ▁not ▁right ?"
-▁The ▁council ▁n od d ed ▁grave ly .
-▁They ▁had ▁not ▁yet ▁wh ol ly ▁recovered ▁from ▁their ▁be w ild er ment .
-▁" On ▁the ▁other ▁hand , ▁her ▁identity ▁must ▁remain ▁a ▁secret ▁till ▁I ▁have ▁developed ▁my ▁plans ," ▁continued ▁U m ball a .
-▁" You ▁are ▁all ▁court ing ▁a ▁terrible ▁rep ris al ," ▁said ▁Kath ly n .
-▁" I ▁be g ▁of ▁you ▁to ▁kill ▁me ▁at ▁once ; ▁do ▁not ▁pro long ▁my ▁torture , ▁my ▁mis ery .
-▁I ▁have ▁harmed ▁none ▁of ▁you , ▁but ▁you ▁have ▁grie v ously ▁harmed ▁me .
-▁One ▁even ▁now ▁seeks ▁aid ▁of ▁the ▁British ▁Raj ; ▁and ▁there ▁are ▁many ▁soldiers ."
-▁The ▁threat ▁was ▁ill ▁t im ed .
-▁The ▁head ▁of ▁the ▁council ▁said ▁to ▁U m ball a : ▁" It ▁would ▁be ▁w ise ▁to ▁lock ▁her ▁up ▁for ▁the ▁present . ▁We ▁all ▁face ▁a ▁great ▁comp lic ation ."
-▁" A ▁very ▁w ise ▁counsel ," ▁agreed ▁U m ball a , ▁know ing ▁that ▁he ▁had ▁but ▁to ▁say ▁the ▁word ▁to ▁destroy ▁them ▁all .
-▁" And ▁she ▁shall ▁have ▁company .
-▁I ▁would ▁not ▁have ▁her ▁l one ly .
-▁C ome , ▁m aj esty ; ▁de ign ▁to ▁follow ▁your ▁hum ble ▁serv ant ."
-▁U m ball a ▁s ala amed .
-▁Kath ly n ▁was ▁led ▁to ▁a ▁cell ▁in ▁the ▁palace ▁prison , ▁whose ▁wall s ▁she ▁had ▁but ▁a ▁little ▁while ▁ago ▁view ed ▁in ▁passing , ▁and ▁th r ust ▁inside .
-▁A ▁single ▁window ▁admitted ▁a ▁f aint ▁light .
-▁U m ball a ▁rem ained ▁by ▁the ▁door , ▁ch uck ling ▁soft ly .
-▁P resent ly , ▁her ▁eyes ▁becoming ▁acc ust omed ▁to ▁the ▁dark , ▁Kath ly n ▁discovered ▁a ▁man ▁ch ained ▁to ▁a ▁p ill ar .
-▁The ▁man ▁suddenly ▁le an ed ▁forward .
-▁" K it , ▁my ▁K it !"
-▁" F ather !"
-▁She ▁caught ▁him ▁to ▁her ▁breast ▁in ▁her ▁strong ▁young ▁arms , ▁cro oned ▁to ▁him , ▁and ▁k iss ed ▁his ▁mat ted ▁head .
-▁And ▁they ▁stood ▁that ▁way ▁for ▁a ▁long ▁time .
-▁At ▁this ▁very ▁moment ▁there ▁appeared ▁before ▁the ▁council ▁a ▁wild ▁ey ed , ▁dis he vel ed ▁young ▁man .
-▁How ▁he ▁had ▁passed ▁the ▁palace ▁guard ▁none ▁of ▁them ▁knew .
-▁" A ▁white ▁woman ▁was ▁brought ▁into ▁this ▁room ▁forcibly ▁a ▁few ▁minutes ▁ago .
-▁I ▁demand ▁her !
-▁And ▁by ▁the ▁God ▁of ▁my ▁father ▁I ▁will ▁cut ▁out ▁the ▁heart ▁of ▁every ▁one ▁of ▁you ▁if ▁you ▁den y ▁me !
-▁She ▁is ▁white ; ▁she ▁is ▁of ▁my ▁race !"
-▁" There ▁is ▁no ▁white ▁woman ▁here , ▁B ru ce ▁Sa hib ."
-▁" You ▁l ie !" ▁thund ered ▁the ▁young ▁man .
-▁Two ▁gu ards ▁came ▁in ▁quickly .
-▁" I ▁say ▁you ▁l ie ! ▁She ▁was ▁seen ▁to ▁enter ▁here !"
-▁" S e ize ▁him !"
-▁A ▁fierce ▁struggle ▁between ▁the ▁gu ards ▁and ▁B ru ce ▁followed ; ▁but ▁his ▁race ▁to ▁the ▁city ▁and ▁the ▁attend ant ▁exc ite ment ▁had ▁weak ened ▁him .
-▁He ▁was ▁carried ▁away , ▁still ▁fighting ▁man ful ly .
-▁In ▁the ▁meantime ▁U m ball a ▁concluded ▁that ▁the ▁re un ion ▁had ▁lasted ▁long ▁enough .
-▁He ▁caught ▁Kath ly n ▁rough ly ▁by ▁the ▁should er ▁and ▁pulled ▁her ▁away .
-▁" B e hold , ▁Colonel ▁Sa hib !
-▁Min e !
-▁I ▁bought ▁her ▁this ▁day ▁in ▁the ▁sl ave ▁m art .
-▁Le g ally ▁m ine !
-▁Now ▁will ▁you ▁tell ▁me ▁where ▁that ▁silver ▁bas ket ▁lies ▁h idden , ▁with ▁its ▁gold ▁and ▁game ?"
-▁" F ather , ▁do ▁not ▁tell ▁him !" ▁warned ▁Kath ly n .
-▁" So ▁long ▁as ▁we ▁do ▁not ▁tell ▁him ▁he ▁does ▁not ▁put ▁us ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁way !"
-▁" K it !"
