 Golston of Johnson, pointing out with his finger the wounded Ramcharan.

"Bring that man along with you," enjoined Johnson upon two sepoys.

The sepoys accordingly dragged away Ramcharan along with them.

The noise roused Dalani and Kulsam from their sleep, and greatly frightened them. They slightly opened the door of their room and were seeing through the opening what was going on outside. Their room was close to the stairs.

When the Englishmen were coming down with Pratap and Ramcharan, the light of the burning taper in the hand of the sepoy, accidentally fell upon Dalani's dark blue eyes, moving about the opening of the door. Bakaullah happened to catch a glimpse of those eyes. The moment he saw them, he cried out, "Here is Mr. Foster's lady."

"Oh I see! Where is she?" said Golston in pleasant surprise.

"In that room," replied Bakaullah, pointing out with his finger the slightly opened door, through which Dalani was peeping.

Johnson and Golston entered into the room and asked Dalani and Kulsam to follow them.
