Have you heard of it, sahiba ?" "Yes!" she answered savagely, swishing at his charger again to make him keep his distance.

"You have told me of it twice.

You have told me that you know where it is, and you have offered to show it to me.

You have told me that you and your brother Maharajah Howrah and the priests of Siva are the only men who know where it is, and you lust for that treasure! I can see you lust! You think that I lust too, and you make a great mistake Jaimihr-sahib! You see, I remember what you have told me.
Now, go away and remember what I tell you.

I care for you and for your treasure exactly that!" She hit his charger with all her might, and at the sting of the little whip he shied clear of the road before the Rajah's brother could rein him in.
Again her effort to destroy his admiration for her had directly the opposite effect.
