The Winds of the World "Hush!" ordered Warrington; and the babu seemed very glad to hush. The Winds of the World "Sahib, for sum of rupees twenty I could hold tongue for twenty years, unless in meantime deceased, in which case—" "Take 'em!" ordered Warrington; and the babu's fingers shut tight on the money. The Winds of the World "Well but—" The situation hardly lent itself to such a discussion; he had the babu first to dispose of. The Bronze Bell The babu described in pantomime an imaginary human riding for his life, whom not even the adroitest police officer could recognize as Ranjoor Singh, even had he been acquainted with the risaldar-major. The Winds of the World Ranjoor Singh touched the horse with his right spur, and in a second the babu lay along on his stomach in the mud. The Winds of the World "Come here, you!" he called to the babu. The Winds of the World He walked straight to the babu, and that gentleman eyed him with obvious distrust. The Winds of the World Alarmed, the babu cringed and retreated a pace; then, suddenly, raising an arm, indicated the girl. The Bronze Bell To this version the babu was required to swear, and he did so without a blink. The Winds of the World The babu was prepared to bargain for an hour, fighting for rupee after rupee until his wit assured him he had reached the limit. The Winds of the World The babu reached out a fat hand and the silver changed owners. The Winds of the World And, chattering as if his teeth were castanets, the babu trod gingerly down damp stone steps whose center had been worn into ruts by countless feet.

The Winds of the World About the babu and the Token; it's a bit of mystery and romance to me—and we don't often find that in our lives, do we? The Bronze Bell "There is no need to fear me," he said, since the babu would not answer. The Winds of the World "Oh, my God, my God!" wailed the babu at the stair-head from amid a maze of women who hustled and shoved him all one way, and that the way he did not want to go. The Winds of the World But the babu was beside himself, what with breathlessness and disappointment. The Winds of the World "Salaam, sahibs," said a fat babu, backing through a door in front of them and showing himself silhouetted against the lesser outer darkness. The Winds of the World In the interim nothing happened, and he was able to enjoy some excellent shooting with Quain, his thoughts undisturbed by any further appearance of the babu. The Bronze Bell So the babu took heart of grace, producing a voice from somewhere down in his enormous stomach and saying, of course, the very last thing expected of him. The Winds of the World The babu thrust his head out of the carriage window and gazed into the dark for several minutes. The Winds of the World "I could direct with more discernment from box-seat," said the babu, with a hand on the door. The Winds of the World "To the left," said the babu, and Warrington made note of the fact that they were not so very far away from the House-of-the-Eight-Half- brothers. The Winds of the World "The Body wears strange members that employs you, babu," commented Rutton bitterly. The Bronze Bell The babu nodded; but his nod was not much more than tentative. The Winds of the World Soon the babu began to scratch his stomach. The Winds of the World The babu's weight lurched with it, and Warrington's center of gravity shifted. The Winds of the World The babu seemed to shrug himself away from the snakes, but the effect was to shove Warrington the odd half-inch it needed to put him overside. The Winds of the World The heavy brown hand returned to the spot it had sought soon after the babu's entrance, within the folds of silk across his bosom, and groped therein for an instant. The Bronze Bell "My eyes are too dim, and my heart too full with grief," said the babu. The Winds of the World But the horses took fright and plunged forward, though the risaldar swore afterward that the babu did nothing to them; he supposed it must have been the fakir squatting in the shadows that scared them. The Winds of the World And whatever it may have been—snakes or not—that had scared the babu, it had scared all his helplessness away. The Winds of the World One day, if the war doesn't account for me, I'll come back and take a fall out of that babu. The Winds of the World Minute after minute passed, he making no sign, the babu poised before him in inscrutable triumph, watching him keenly with his black and evil eyes of a beast. The Bronze Bell "There!" said the babu, jerking a thumb over his right shoulder. The Winds of the World So the babu was roused again out of a comfortable snooze, and Yasmini whispered to him something that frightened him so much that he trembled like a man with palsy. The Winds of the World So the German went down-stairs and climbed in beside the babu, changing his turban at once for the better one that he found waiting in there. The Winds of the World "This performance is worth a rajah's ransom!" grumbled babu Sita Ram. The Winds of the World "I was only thinking; there's something I can't see through in that babu's willingness to go." The Bronze Bell But the babu was gone, hurrying as if goaded by fear of hell and all its angels. The Winds of the World It must have been nine o'clock, and the babu was giving signs of nearly complete exhaustion, when they passed beyond a ring of trees into a clearing. The Winds of the World "D 'you suppose we can blame it on the babu, sir?" The Winds of the World I wish it smelt of musk—but it doesn't; it smells of babu—straight babu, undiluted. The Winds of the World The babu cut in hastily, stimulated by a pressing anxiety to clear himself. The Bronze Bell |
