Guns of the Gods Safely stowed away under a triple watch and carefully tended, this man awaits his fate as the maharajah may decide. Mr. Isaacs But the Russian diplomatic scheme included provision for the maharajah of a wife so irrevocably wedded that the British would not be able to refuse her recognition. Guns of the Gods The maharajah sahib is knowing me for most excellent butler. Guns of the Gods But the mere maharajah was in no mood to be put off with smiles just then. Guns of the Gods And, of course, he could not refuse to recognize the wedding officially and put on record the name, ancestry and title of the maharajah's legal first wife. Guns of the Gods Shere Ali, the maharajah, bonds, principal, and interest, were all forgotten in the anticipation of a brief meeting with the woman he loved. Mr. Isaacs "He will not be maharajah after noon today!" Guns of the Gods A voice that he could swear he almost recognized whispered to him in the crowd that the English were going to forbid the next maharajah to have any but employees of his own race. Guns of the Gods The difficulty's this, lady: since the escape from the palace across the river, the maharajah has taken the posting of palace guards out of my hands entirely. Guns of the Gods Then another band, and a column of the maharajah's troops. Guns of the Gods I promised the maharajah this morning that I would bring, this afternoon, a reliable person of experience, who could give advice, and who might be induced to give his assistance as well as his counsel. Mr. Isaacs "You and your maharajah go to hell together!" Guns of the Gods The maharajah lay now with his head on the lap of Patali, his favorite dancing girl, in a room all scent and cushions and contrivances. Guns of the Gods I will send one of the guard with that letter to the maharajah sahib. Guns of the Gods "A little ghostly consolation for the maharajah's sins!" he muttered, as he headed toward his own quarters for another stiff glass of brandy and some sleep. Guns of the Gods Yes," continued Isaacs, "he has been a prisoner in the palace of Baithopoor for six weeks, and not a soul save the maharajah and you and I know it. Mr. Isaacs And there are totally unnecessary problems of administration that are entailed by the maharajah administering a small piece of territory on our side of the river. Guns of the Gods "Shall Samson choose a new maharajah so soon as all that?" she laughed. Guns of the Gods What do you mean," he demanded in the man's own language, "by standing in the way of the maharajah sahib's orders? Guns of the Gods The maharajah, sprawling on the divan in a flowered silk deshabille and with his head swathed in bandages, ignored Tom Tripe's salute, and snarled at the major-domo to take himself out of sight and hearing. Guns of the Gods He dwelt on the large sums the maharajah owed him for assistance lent during the late famine, and he skilfully produced the impression that he wanted the money down, then and there. Mr. Isaacs None guessed better than he how low debauch had brought the maharajah's private treasury. Guns of the Gods He would be away from home all day, but Chamu the butler would undoubtedly admit the maharajah and his men. Guns of the Gods Does the maharajah sahib wish still more scandal than already has been by permitting such a visit in the daytime? Guns of the Gods For the rest, he hoped they would find what they were looking for, whatever that might be; and he sincerely hoped that the maharajah had not hurt his head seriously. Guns of the Gods "With such an armoury of weapons you could manage half-a-dozen maharajahs." Mr. Isaacs "Better tell that Mukhum Dass to sell me the house cheap," said the maharajah as a sort of afterthought. Guns of the Gods On the other hand, he recognized Tom as almost indispensable; he could put a lick and polish on the maharajah's troops that no amount of cursing and coaxing by their own officers accomplished. Guns of the Gods Does he wish the British to say afterward that it was all the maharajah's doing? Guns of the Gods He told Tom that the maharajah was in no mood to be spoken to, and in no condition to be seen. Guns of the Gods A perfectly good palace had been wrested away by diplomatic means, on Samson's own initiative, and there was no logical reason why the maharajah should not build another one to replace it. Guns of the Gods The reigning prince is maharajah, and, being Hindu, can have one wife or as many as he pleases. Guns of the Gods It's absurd and expensive to continue keeping up a fort inside the maharajah's territory. Guns of the Gods The indisputable fact that certain friends and relatives of certain members of the maharajah's household enjoyed rather profitable contracts on British administered territory was coincidence. Guns of the Gods "You are too near the fort in any case," said the maharajah. Guns of the Gods Ten minutes later, as he left the office, the waiting batteries fired him a fourteen-gun salute, that the world might know how a new maharajah occupied the throne of Sialpore. Guns of the Gods The maharajah walked twice, ten yards toward the entrance and back again. Guns of the Gods Once the maharajah heard a whisper—" "Well—I'll be careful not to drop a hint to his highness. Guns of the Gods One does not explain everything to a mere maharajah. Guns of the Gods As for dropping hints to the maharajah about my doing little services for the princess,—a gentleman's a gentleman, and don't need instruction— nor advice from me. Guns of the Gods The maharajah sahib is with his dancing girls this minute. Guns of the Gods But he may show it to the maharajah in the morning, and then there'll be hot fat in the fire. Guns of the Gods It stood by itself in a compound, with fields behind it, and looked prosperous enough to belong to one of the maharajah's suite. Guns of the Gods Only, if we fired Chamu I suppose the maharajah would be offended. Guns of the Gods Besides, they all knew already what sort of prowl-by-night their master was, and laws, especially such laws, were, made for other people, not for maharajahs. Guns of the Gods "So the commissioner sahib and the maharajah sahib had a conference—" The Rajput nodded again. Guns of the Gods —It was agreed at the conference that if the princess can be proved mad, then the maharajah sahib may do as he's minded about sending her away into the hills. Guns of the Gods Then he will confirm to the maharajah afterward that Tripe did search— and did see something—and that Blaine sahib did lock the cellar door afterward in anger, and put weights on it. Guns of the Gods I swore on my Bible oath to the maharajah that I left you day before yesterday closely guarded in the palace across the river. Guns of the Gods She said you are welcome to the treasure, maharajah sahib, and that if she should ever find its hiding-place she will certainly tell you. Guns of the Gods Perhaps the maharajah had seen the dog and killed him. Guns of the Gods |
