, 'Sonny Sahib hai!'

[13] 'Your Honour, yes. It is Sonny Sahib.'

The Colonel looked at Sunni an instant longer, and the boy smiled
into his face. 'Yes,' said he assuredly, with a deep breath, 'it
is Sonny Sahib.'

'The woman saw your honour this morning, and the khaber was brought
to me then,' remarked the Maharajah complacently.

It was three weeks, after all, before the Maharajah of Chita was
satisfactorily arranged. For three weeks Thomas Jones indulged in
roast kid and curry every day from Lalpore, and Lieutenant Pink,
having no more warlike way of amusing himself, made sanguinary
water-colour sketches of the city to send home to the Misses Pink
in England. The day came at last when Colonel Starr and Sonny
Sahib went to pay their final respects to the Maharajah. With his
hand upon his son's shoulder the Colonel turned once more after the
last courtesy had been exchanged.

'Your Highness will remember,' said the English soldier for the
pleasure of saying it, 'he did not tell.'
