“Ah!” said King. “You have my leave to depart out of earshot.”
Then he turned on Rewa Gunga.
“Whatever the truth of all this,” he said quietly, “I suppose it means she has done what there was to do in Delhi?”
“Sahib,--trust her! Does a tigress hunt where no watercourses are, and where no game goes to drink? She follows the sambur!”
“You are positive she has started for the North?”
“Sahib, when she speaks it is best to believe! She told me she will go. Therefore I am ready to lead King sahib up the Khyber to her!”
“Are you certain you can find her?”
“Aye, sahib,--in the dark!”
“There's a train leaves for the North to-night,” said King.
The Rangar nodded.
