Kara was the personal attendant of the Rajah.
He was five years younger than his master.
And five times handsomer.
At least he seemed so—to the Ranee.
Kara had been in the service of the Rajah for seven years.
And he was highly thought of.
He had proved himself worthy of the confidence that had been placed in him.
He had accompanied his master into danger.
He had served him in health.
And he had nursed him in sickness.
