Middy and Ensign The rajah decided upon the details of the matter that night, and in the morning he informed me of his decision. The Ape, the Idiot & Other People I believe I have availed myself of every means within my reach to render my visit agreeable to the rajah. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy On Reginald’s return to the palace, he found the rajah alone. The Young Rajah “And if my letter goes to the rajah first, he may get it interpreted for him, and know what we intend to do.” The Rajah of Dah Perhaps the poor girls were ill with their fright, and the rajah resident would send them back when they were better. Middy and Ensign The rajah's palace was a noble structure, but it is necessary here to describe only the grand hall. The Ape, the Idiot & Other People At twelve at night we were surprised by a boat sent from the rajah, to say he was taken ill, and wanted some physic. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy “Did he tell you that you were his only child?” inquired the rajah, still keeping his gaze fixed on Reginald’s countenance. The Young Rajah I was to go on another expedition to-day; and, good heavens! here comes the rajah’s messenger to say that the elephants are ready. The Rajah of Dah For my part, I feel certain that the whole of the people hereabouts are under the influence of the rajah, sultan included. Middy and Ensign All these arrangements having been made and Neranya hoisted into his cage, the rajah emerged upon the balcony to see him for the first time since the last amputation. The Ape, the Idiot & Other People The rajah, he said, desired it so much, and would think it so kind, that I consented to go up to-morrow. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy Perhaps she reflected that it might remove all objections the rajah would have entertained with regard to bestowing her hand on her brother’s friend. The Young Rajah “The rajah sends word that we are to be separated, Murray,” said Mr Braine. The Rajah of Dah One fell down unconscious, and had to be carried out of the arena, covered with blood, while the rajah uttered a sigh of regret because it was over so soon. The Works of Guy de Maupassant, Vol. 1 Boule de Suif and Other Stories The rajah folded his arms and gazed down from the balcony upon the frightful wreck that he had made. The Ape, the Idiot & Other People The character given this rajah by many persons who know and have traded with him is good, and he is spoken of as generous and humane, and greatly inclined to the English. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy “You have my promise, wretched slave, that no punishment shall overtake you on account of anything you may confess,” said the rajah. The Young Rajah “The rajah’s people would hear us, and stop us.” The Rajah of Dah The rajah received me with every demonstration of pleasure, and hardly left me for a moment during the first day of my visit. The Works of Guy de Maupassant, Vol. 1 Boule de Suif and Other Stories It being apparent to me that the rajah was not the object of Neranya's movements, the anxiety which I had felt on that account was now entirely dissipated. The Ape, the Idiot & Other People We dispatched our surgeon, but it was found impossible to admit him into the sacred precincts of the seraglio, and he returned with the information that the rajah was asleep. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy “Pardon or no pardon, the casket must be brought here before sunset,” exclaimed the rajah. The Young Rajah Just then the rajah spoke to one of the attendants, who directly after went and filled Murray’s cup with some kind of palm wine, and then the Resident’s, and the doctor’s. The Rajah of Dah The saffron-colored rajah appeared, again shook hands with me, and began to tell me a thousand different things, constantly asking me for my opinion, which I had great difficulty in giving him. The Works of Guy de Maupassant, Vol. 1 Boule de Suif and Other Stories I tore the wretch away, but the blood was pouring from the rajah's arteries, his chest was crushed in, and he was gasping in the agony of death. The Ape, the Idiot & Other People It is true that we were under the protection of the rajah and accompanied by a Pangeran, and could have insisted on obtaining what was readily granted. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy The rajah urged him to return as soon as possible, and was evidently unwilling to have him long out of his sight. The Young Rajah Those are the rajah’s chaps, and that fellow says we are to stay here. The Rajah of Dah The next day I left again, in spite of the rajah's entreaties and evident vexation; and I now still feel as if I had never loved any woman but Châli. The Works of Guy de Maupassant, Vol. 1 Boule de Suif and Other Stories I found the rajah a man of a noble character, but possessed, as I afterwards discovered, of a sense of cruelty purely Oriental and in contrast to the indolence of his disposition. The Ape, the Idiot & Other People Matan is under an independent rajah, who was formerly styled Sultan of Sukadana; but about seventeen years ago the Dutch burnt down his city. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy Even the rajah and his party could not perform more than thirty or forty miles each day, as their horses required food and rest; and they had fully three days’ march before them. The Young Rajah The rajah has had those two taken to hold as hostages. The Rajah of Dah He said it was in a great fight when three of the rajahs had joined against him to attack him and kill him, and take all his land. Glyn Severn's Schooldays To his unspeakable dismay the rajah sentenced him for this offence to suffer amputation of the remaining arm. The Ape, the Idiot & Other People Matan belongs to the rajah of that name: he had the title of Rajah of Sukadana, until driven out of the latter place by the Dutch, seventeen years ago. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy The rajah showed himself sensible of the important aid he had received from his English attendants, and on this evening he seemed more inclined to open his heart to them than heretofore. The Young Rajah “The messenger has gone toward the rajah’s place, and not to the doctor’s house.” The Rajah of Dah “Yes,” said Glyn drily and with a half-contemptuous smile upon his lips; “but that was in India, where all the rajahs and princes wear such things.” Glyn Severn's Schooldays I held my breath, expecting to see him crushed upon the stone floor beneath; but instead of that he fell full upon the rajah's breast, driving him through the cot to the floor. The Ape, the Idiot & Other People The Sambas rajah has forcibly taken possession of a part of it. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy Reginald saw that now the favourable opportunity he had wished for, of speaking to the rajah of himself, had arrived. The Young Rajah The rajah gave him a meaning look, and laughed. The Rajah of Dah Is it to be like a durbar at home, when all the rajahs and nawabs come together with their elephants and trains?” Glyn Severn's Schooldays I must confess to astonishment upon having observed that Neranya, instead of proceeding directly toward the sleeping rajah, took quite another direction. The Ape, the Idiot & Other People The chief, or rajah, issues his orders to the Pangerans, or princes of the blood; to the Datus, or nobles of royal descent; or to the Orang Kayas, or wealthy vassals. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy “Who told you all this?” exclaimed the rajah in an agitated voice. The Young Rajah We never know what mine may be sprung upon us, nor how the chief people among the rajah’s followers may be affected toward us through petty jealousies.” The Rajah of Dah “I hear that the English are being driven out of the country, and that the rajahs and begums are going to call the land their own once more.” Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East Then it was only escape, after all, that the wretch contemplated, and not the murder of the rajah. The Ape, the Idiot & Other People The Dutch thought it of so much consequence as to keep a force at Songo, and to place the present rajah on that musnud. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy Should they succeed in passing through, they are to gallop on to the palace, where they will find the rajah and such friends as he may be able to rally round him. The Young Rajah The rajah desires that you all come and have your evening meal with him, and tell him what you have done.” The Rajah of Dah No; the rajahs will never hold the land again. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East For many generations it had been in the family of one of India's proudest rajahs, and until it was stolen the arms of England could not prevail over that part of the far East. The Ape, the Idiot & Other People They are a good-tempered, very hospitable, and unwarlike people, the victims of their rajahs; the oppressed, but not the oppressors. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy Should the traitor Mukund Bhim have got her into his power, he would have as little scruple in putting her to death as he would in killing any of the rajah’s sons. The Young Rajah And will what I say be carried to the rajah? The Rajah of Dah If I gave my word to the rajah, I should be obliged to keep it, and it would be a disgrace. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East We’ll come another time, and bring you some tobacco, and you shall tell us the story about the fight with the Indian rajahs.” Burr Junior I must push the rajah on to action, for help from without is not likely to come. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy Notwithstanding the rajah’s caution to Reginald, he could scarcely refrain from going out and mixing with the crowd, to obtain information of what was going on. The Young Rajah The rajah said all, and he will be impatient. The Rajah of Dah I might have a grand position in the rajah’s army, but I should be degraded from my own, and be a traitor in training men to fight against our flag. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East “House of Commons, boy,” said Mr Cookson, “people are not impeached at Doctors’ Commons, that’s where wills are proved,” and he made a correction,—“‘and proved he hadn’t murdered the rajah. Dr. Jolliffe's Boys The next business was my visit of ceremony to the rajah, which was great fun, though conducted in the most imposing manner. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy As they left the gates of the house the rajah walked rapidly along, concealing his face in his robe, while Reginald swaggered on by his side with a martial strut assumed generally by the sowars. The Young Rajah My father looks as if he had been getting into trouble with the rajah, and the ladies are all on the fidget. The Rajah of Dah Then I began to think more seriously of Dost’s risk, for if he were discovered it would mean instant death at the hands of the rajah’s men. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East "What has become of the family of the former rajah?" At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War The rajah was active in settling; the agreement was drawn out, sealed, and signed; guns fired, flags waved; and on the 24th of September, 1841, I became the Governor of Sarāwak, with the fullest powers.” The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy On your courage I depended to regain my power!” exclaimed the rajah. The Young Rajah Just then the rajah, clapped his hands, and coffee was brought in, another attendant bearing a tray with some clumsy-looking cigarettes, and others bringing great pipes with water receptacles, and charcoal pans to supply lights. The Rajah of Dah Then, looking at me with a peculiar smile, he passed his hands behind a purdah, and produced the gorgeously jewelled tulwar and sheath which the rajah had offered me before. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East The rajah's brow darkened, as he heard how the escort he had sent down had been slain, to a man, on the previous day. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War Macota is to be sent out of the country, and the rajah himself talks of returning to Borneo; and both these events will please me greatly. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy In a short time the man returned to consciousness; and as his eye fell on the rajah his countenance brightened up. The Young Rajah He and his young friend have disappeared since we left the rajah’s to-night. The Rajah of Dah The people, as a rule, knew that I was the rajah’s friend, and expected that I should take some command. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East "How many men were there?" the rajah asked. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War My first object, on holding the reins of government, was to release the unfortunate women confined for a whole year by the rajah. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy The worst anticipations of the rajah were realised: Nuna had undoubtedly been carried off by the rebels. The Young Rajah The rajah is my master, and does what is good in his own eyes. The Rajah of Dah Whom have you got there—the rajah’s son?” Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East Calling a party of his men to follow him, the rajah accompanied Harry to the edge of the town. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War Budrudeen then rose, and approaching the rajah, seated himself close to him, bending his head to the ground over his hand, which he had grasped. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy Reginald suggested this course, and offered to protect him with his life; the rajah, however, would not hear of it. The Young Rajah The rajah spoke again, and a dozen armed men ran from behind and leaped actively to the ground. The Rajah of Dah The object had been to make a bold attack, and if the rajah’s people gave way, to advance and send for help from the hidden force. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East The rajah had, himself, been all the time upon the spot; and was delighted when he saw how formidable was the obstacle that had been raised. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War It was enough that a follower of the rajah was concerned, to hush up all wrongs; and any of the oppressed, who were bold enough to lodge a complaint, were sure to rue it. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy Their suspicions were generally aroused; and some even declared that the rajah had sold his country to the English. The Young Rajah “I presume,” he said, “that when your boat came up you were boarded by the rajah’s naga.” The Rajah of Dah “What! as a British officer in the service of a rajah?” Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East Harry had stayed on, at the earnest request of the rajah; but he now declared that he must return to the coast. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War Having taken their stations, the chief men proceeded to an interview with the rajah, which I attended to witness. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy Reginald and Burnett were anxious to place her in safety with the rajah, and were much disappointed, besides being grieved at hearing of her illness. The Young Rajah These were the rajah’s sword-bearers, and each held by the ornamental sheath a kris or parang of singular workmanship, with the hilt resting against the right shoulder. The Rajah of Dah With men like that, and the quick-firing guns, I shall be more powerful than any of the rajahs near. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East The rajah's approval of the cession of a trading port, and of the island itself, was written both in the Malay and the English languages, and signed by the chief. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War On the contrary, my reasoning, though personal, was, on the whole, the best for the rajah and the people. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy “And now let me hear an account of your adventures,” said the rajah. The Young Rajah The girl looked round at him in surprise,— “Oh yes; he is the rajah or prince of the country.” The Rajah of Dah Feeling that something had occurred—a something which could only mean the discovery of Dost, and the credit he would get with the rajah—I at last asked him sharply what he was laughing at. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East I was attacked, and my followers killed, by the rajah now assailing this place. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War Nothing during this contention could be more polite than the Pangeranʼs manner; for he not only expressed but looked his regret, and urged on me his responsibility to the rajah. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy They grew cooler, however, on discovering the rajah’s troops at the entrance of the temple, and hurried back to their devotions with the advice they had received from the stranger strongly impressed on their minds. The Young Rajah It must be Campong Bukit, and that is one of the rajah’s boats.” The Rajah of Dah But there was no rajah, and I had begun to wonder at his non-appearance on his favourite Arab. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East There was feasting that night at the rajah's house. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War The suite of the rajah consists principally of slaves, either purchased or debtors: they are well treated, and rise to offices of some note. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy Reginald, though feeling no small amount of indignation at the cowardly conduct of the troops, saw that at present it would be useless to urge the rajah to turn and attack the enemy. The Young Rajah “You doubt then the likelihood of the rajah’s people interfering with you?” The Rajah of Dah Then the word was given, six horsemen rode to the gate as advance-guard, and we were following toward the entrance, when the rajah turned to me with a grave smile. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East He will, of course, ask for an equivalent, either in money or in protection against some neighbouring rajah. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War I parted from the rajah with regret, some six or seven miles down the river. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy The rajah, concealing his rage, inquired why they had deserted him. The Young Rajah “These gentlemen,” he said, “have been sent by his highness the rajah to ask why you have come here, and to desire your presence before him.” The Rajah of Dah “Go, then, and come back, not as my officer, but as the friend in whom my people’s rajah delights.” Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East These approached, and humbly laid them at the rajah's feet. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War They accordingly retrograded and left; after which I continued sulky on board and the rajah, shamming sick, sulked in his harem. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy The rajah, attended by Reginald and Burnett, rode with the main body. The Young Rajah “But, I say,” said Ned, as he found that he was getting a deeper insight into their position, “the rajah will soon let us go?” The Rajah of Dah “Mount,” said the rajah, who had followed me. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East "And we have not more than five hundred," the rajah said. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War On this being made known to the rajah, he forgot his sickness, and came out and proffered me a meeting to discuss affairs, which I postponed until the following day. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy “The villainous traitors have deprived me, then, of my child,” exclaimed the rajah. The Young Rajah “Is the rajah angry with them for taking us?” The Rajah of Dah For though I could not make it out, the rajah or the doctor would probably have guessed its meaning in an instant. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East The rajah was almost beside himself with joy, at this crushing defeat of his enemy. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War Their immediate recall was the consequence; for the rajah having denied his permission, those who fathered the act dared not persist in it when I told them it was an act of disobedience. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy They made their way towards the women’s apartments, observing on either side signs of the fearful struggle which had taken place, though it was still evident that the rajah’s own guard had remained faithful. The Young Rajah “When the fruit was dead ripe, it would fall,” said the new rajah, solemnly. The Rajah of Dah “Did the rajah say when he was coming again?” Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East The rajah called up two of his men, and one of these at once drew the charges of the guns, and reloaded them from the powder horn and bag of bullets the servants had brought. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War The very evening of the failure the rajah came up the river. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy Darkness had now set in, and, wrapped in his mantle, the rajah could walk abroad without hazard of being recognised. The Young Rajah “Thank you,” said the rajah, holding out his hand. The Rajah of Dah I gave him a glance full of horror, and then looked round at the crowd of armed men so fiercely, that the rajah spoke. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East During the day the breaches in the palisades had all been repaired and, at night, the whole population were told to remain within its shelter, while numerous guards were posted by the rajah. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War He assured us of a welcome from his rajah, and, in their usual phrase, expressed himself that the rajahʼs heart would dilate in his bosom at the sight of us. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy Their harness was hung up on the walls, and the rajah and Reginald, well accustomed to the task, quickly saddled and bridled three of the best. The Young Rajah “I ask for no more,” said the rajah. The Rajah of Dah It would be a surprise—of that I felt sure; for the rajah was completely satisfied of his safety—at least, so he seemed, and ready to treat the British power as completely broken. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East While the meal at the rajah's was going on, a party of native musicians played and sang, the Malays being very fond of music. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War I remonstrated mildly but firmly on the waste of my money, and on the impossibility of any good to the country while the rajah conducted himself as he had done. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy He had learned from his father that his mother was a Christian, but he found a difficulty in reconciling this with the communication the rajah had just made him. The Young Rajah Yes, and I appealed to the rajah for mercy; but he gave me so terrible an account of the man’s life that I was silenced at once. The Rajah of Dah After which he stepped on one side and drew his sword, to stand on guard waiting for the rajah’s entry. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East They had vaguely heard that some of the chiefs supported the family of the former rajah. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War I look upon the cause of the rajah as most just and righteous: and the speedy close of the war would be rendering a service to humanity, especially if brought about by treaty. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy “That fact my father impressed on me; and, as far as my interests are concerned, much depends on it,” said Reginald, who had been listening eagerly to the account the rajah had been giving him. The Young Rajah He has been perfectly quiet and interested in some affairs connected with the rajah of the next state. The Rajah of Dah Only to think of Ny Deen turning out to be a big rajah, sir. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East Assuredly, as long as he remained rajah, he would now be ready to grant anything asked for and, as Singapore was virtually lost to him, his assent would be given without hesitation. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War The chiefship would appear to be elective, and not hereditary; but I could not distinctly understand whether the appointment rested with the rajah or the tribe. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy You may command the horsemen, if the rajah will give them, and I will try a plan I have thought of. The Young Rajah We had better separate, and seem to be treating all this calmly, for our acts are certain to be reported to the rajah.” The Rajah of Dah “They hardly noticed that I was a stranger, most of them taking me for one of the rajah’s followers.” Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East The rajah rode at the head of his cavalry; Harry, at his request, taking his place with his own escort in the centre of it, so that his presence among them should not be suspected. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War Nothing could exceed the kindness of the rajah during our stay, with his brothers, of all ages, as our constant companions. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy The morning came at length, and as soon as the rajah was on foot they hurried into his presence. The Young Rajah “Well, you see,” said the doctor rather confusedly—“do pray light a cigar, I’ll set you an example—you see there is the rajah.” The Rajah of Dah The rajah had been lavish enough in his dress before, but on this occasion he far outshone all previous display. Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East At the frontier the rajah's troop turned back, and Harry continued his journey, reaching Calcutta early in June. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War The only inquiry was, whether the rajah had the right and authority to make over the country to me, and this I was assured he had. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy “Remember that if you speak not the truth you will immediately be put to death,” added the rajah. The Young Rajah Then profound salaams were exchanged, and the Malays went toward the rajah’s house, while the Englishmen took the way that led to the doctor’s. The Rajah of Dah “No, no, rajah,” I cried, unable to repress a feeling of emotion at his generosity, which was indeed princely; “indeed it was not that.” Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East When we said that we were messengers from an English lord, on board a ship with great guns, we were taken to the rajah's house. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War While I went to Singapore, the rajah promised to build me a house, in which I was to take up my residence. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy The rajah’s tent was pitched in the neighbourhood of an immense banyan-tree; those of his chief officers and attendants being placed, without much order, around it. The Young Rajah “It is the rajah’s orders that you should come here, and we are all bound to obey him.” The Rajah of Dah “I have thought it a great honour, Ny Deen—rajah—your highness, I mean.” Gil the Gunner The Youngest Officer in the East The rajah's principal officer was placed in command here. At the Point of the Bayonet A Tale of the Mahratta War All the Malays were armed; and it is reckoned an insult for one of them to appear before a rajah without his kris. The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido For the Suppression of Piracy He had no fancy for encountering the dangers of war; and though the rajah had commanded his attendance, he excused himself on the plea of severe illness. The Young Rajah And really he was so kind, and has always been such a good friend when the rajah has been in one of his mad fits, that we have all ended by liking him.” The Rajah of Dah |
