At the Point of the Bayonet

CHAPTER 7: An Act Of Treachery
13/31

I will send in for your horses, as soon as the tumult has subsided.

We have several spare animals here, and you and your servant can take two of them.

I will write to the Governor a report of my interview with Bajee, and say that I have sent you down to give him all the details of what has taken place; which will save the time that it would take me to write a long report, and will be far more convenient, inasmuch as you can answer any point that he is desirous of ascertaining.

I do not think that you can do better than go in the disguise that you now have on; for a soldier to be galloping fast is a common sight, but people would be astonished at seeing either a Brahmin or a trader riding at full speed.

I will give orders for the horses to be saddled at once and, in the meantime, you had best take a meal.
