| The major sahib was in, the khitmutgar told him and Phil scribbled an urgent message on his card and sent it to him. |
| He then dispatched his khitmutgar to bid the attendance of one of the jamadars of his regiment. |
| This note he delivered to the khitmutgar, with orders to return to him with a reply. |
| The khitmutgar had gone to his own quarters for the night, and they were quite alone. |
| The khitmutgar departed, and returned in a minute with Kaluja Dass, grave and imperturbable as ever. |
| She fled to Merryon in horror, and he and the khitmutgar slew the creature. |
