α = 10e−0.5t ω = −20e−0.5t + C1 θ = 40e−0.5t + C1 t + C2
Initial conditions: ω = θ = 0 when t = 0. ∴ C1 = 20 rad/s, C2 = −40 rad
∴ ω = −20e−0.5t + 20 rad/s θ = 40e−0.5t + 20t − 40 rad
When t → ∞, ω → 20 rad/s. ∴ ω ∞ = 20 rad/s

When ω = 0.5ω ∞ :
10 = −20e−0.5t + 20 e−0.5t = 0.5 t = 1.3863 s

θ = 40(0.5) + 20(1.3863) − 40 = 7.726 rad = 1.230 rev

∴ ω dω = α dθ ω = αθ + C1 (α is constant)

Initial condition: ω = 6000 rev/min when θ = 0. ∴ C1 = 60002 /2 (rev/min)2
1
∴ (ω 2 − 60002 ) = αθ
2
When θ = 3600 rev, ω = 1200 rev/min.

Initial condition: ω = 6000 rev/min when t = 0. ∴ C2 = −6000 rev/min
When ω = 0:

θ = −4t2 + 24t − 10 rad ω = −8t + 24 rad/s α = −8 rad/s2
(a) When t = 4 s:
ω = −8(4) + 24 = −8 rad/s α = −8 rad/s2
(b) Note that the rotation reverses direction when t = 3 s (obtained by setting ω = 0).
When t = 0, θ = −10 rad
When t = 3 s, θ = −4(3)2 + 24(3) − 10 = 26 rad
When t = 4 s, θ = −4(4)2 + 24(4) − 10 = 22 rad
The total angle turned through is θtot = (10 + 26) + (26 − 22) = 40 rad
16.5

α = 4 + 6t ω = α dt = 4t + 3t2 + C1

θ = ω dt = 2t2 + t3 + C1 t + C2
Initial conditions: ω = 0 and θ = 0 when t = 0. ∴ C1 = C2 = 0

∴ ω = 4t + 3t2 θ = 2t2 + t3
When ω = 24 rad/s:
24 = 4t + 3t2 t = 2.239 s ∴ θ = 2(2.239)2 + 2.2393 = 21.3 rad

α = 12 rad/s2 ω = 12t + C1 rad/s θ = 6t2 + C1 t + C2 rad
Initial conditions: θ = 0, ω = −24 rad/s when t = 0. ∴ C1 = −24 rad/s and C2 = 0.
∴ ω = 12t − 24 rad/s θ = 6t2 − 24t rad
Note that the rotation reverses direction when t = 2 s (obtained by setting ω = 0).
When t = 0, θ = 0.
When t = 2 s, θ = 6(2)2 − 24(2) = −24.0 rad
When t = 4 s, θ = 6(4)2 − 24(4) = 0
The total angle turned through is θtot = 48 rad

to them bashfully—
“Oh, you have no idea how nervous I was at first! My poor little
knees were actually shaking under me.”
“Were they? I did not notice them,” rejoined Mrs. Brande in her
severest manner; and listeners allowed that on this occasion “old
mother Brande had scored!”
Mrs. Langrishe the next morning, having first fortified herself with a
glass of wine, entered her niece’s bower, in order to administer a
really sound scolding, the gist of which was (as repeated by the
listening Ayah to other deeply interested domestics, as she took a
pull at the cook’s huka)—
“As long as you are in my house, and under my care, you must
behave yourself properly. If this is impossible, as I fear it is, I shall
send you straight home. The Ayah will take you to Bombay, and see
you off second-class, though the class that best suits your manners
is really the steerage. Your acting, and, to a certain extent, your
dancing, was all very well; but I do not wonder that Mrs. Brande was
shocked at your dress, or rather the want of it—scarcely below your
knees!”
“Mrs. Brande is a narrow-minded old toad!” cried Lalla
contemptuously. “I don’t believe she was ever in an English theatre
in her life. She should see some of the dresses at home!”
“This is not the way to get yourself settled, and you know it,”
pursued her aunt. “It was most fortunate that Sir Gloster was not
present—he is a man with very correct ideas.”
“That stupid, sluggish bumpkin! what are his ideas to me?” scoffed
Lalla, with a maddening smile.
“I wish he had an idea of you,” retorted her aunt. “I’m sure I should
be most thankful. However, you are aware that we go down in four
months, and remember, that this is your last chance!”
Hereupon, according to the Ayah, Miss Sahib “plenty laugh.”
But Miss Sahib evidently laid the advice to heart. For a few days
she was extremely piano and demure, accepting her recently-won
honours and the appellation of “Miss Taglioni” with an air of meek
protest that was simply delightful.
The play was soon succeeded by a concert at the club; and here
Miss Gordon, with her violin, put Miss Paske completely in the shade
for once. What a contrast they presented. The little smirking, bowing,
grimacing figure in pink, with clouds of fluffy hair, and banjo,
streaming with gay ribbons, who made up for lack of voice, by
expression, chic, and impudence, and threw Tommy Atkins, in the
four anna seats, into a delirium of enthusiasm.
Then came the tall young lady in white, with statuesque arms, who
gradually cast a spell of enchantment over her listeners, and held the
emotions of her audience in the hollow of the small hand that guided
her bow.
For once Mrs. Brande felt conscious that Honor had quite, as she
mentally expressed it, “snuffed out that brazen little monkey,” and
though personally she preferred the banjo and nigger melodies, the
audience in the two rupee places apparently did not, for they
applauded enthusiastically, and stamped and shouted, “Encore!
encore!” and seemed ready to tear the house down. And even young
Jervis, usually so retiring and undemonstrative, had clapped until he
had split his gloves.
Mrs. Langrishe was not behindhand with her plaudits. She would
not leave it in any one’s power to declare that she was jealous of
Miss Gordon’s overwhelming success, but to herself she said—
“Oh, if Honor Gordon was but her niece! How thankfully would she
exchange relations with Mrs. Brande. Here was a simple, well-bred
girl, who could shine anywhere, and was quite thrown away in her
present hands. It was true that Sir Gloster seemed much struck;
everyone saw that, except the girl herself, and her old bat of an aunt.
He had never taken his eyes off her, as she stood before the
footlights, and she had made an undeniably charming picture, slim
and graceful, with an old-fashioned air of maidenly dignity, and how
she played!”
She glanced at her own special young lady, now coming forward
to sing yet another ditty, amidst the uproarious encouragement of the
back benches.
Lalla was pretty, her fair soft hair was wisped up anyhow (a
studied art), her eyes were bright, her style piquante, but her
expression was everything, and oh, what a little demon she was!
And then she sang—certainly she was the most successful
cantatrice who ever sang without a voice.
“What a charming inmate your niece must be, Mrs. Langrishe,”
observed a lady next her. “So amusing and bright, quite a sunbeam
in the house.”
To which the poor martyr rejoined with a somewhat rigid smile, “Oh
yes, indeed, quite delightful.”
She envied Mrs. Brande her treasure still more, when, as they
were leaving the club, she noticed Honor affectionately wrapping up
her aunt—for it had turned out a wet night—and making some playful
joke as she tied a hood under her ample chin. Her niece had helped
herself to the only mackintosh, and had rolled away in her rickshaw,
among the first flight, with a young man riding beside her.
“She went off with Toby Joy! I really am astonished that Mrs.
Langrishe allows her to be so independent,” said a voice (a
woman’s) in the dark, close beside that ill-used lady, and happily
unaware of her vicinity.
Miserable Mrs. Langrishe, if they only knew all, the most stony-
hearted would surely commiserate her.
She returned home alone, firmly resolved to give Lalla a talking to,
but when she arrived—her anger had ebbed. She discovered the
culprit reclining in an easy-chair, smoking a friendly cigarette with
Granby, and entertaining him with inimitable mimicry of some of her
fellow performers.
“Oh, so you have appeared at last!” cried Lalla, with languid
surprise. “Fie, fie, how late you are, darling! I’ve been home ages. I
took the waterproof to cover up my beloved banjo—I ‘wrapped it up
in its tarpaulin jacket,’ you know the song. I was sure, as I did not
see you, that some horrible bore had got hold of you, and I knew you
would hate to keep me waiting in the rain, so I dashed off home at
once.”
CHAPTER XXI.
THE GREAT STARVATION PICNIC.
The “picnic” season at Shirani set in with unexampled severity.

There were tea picnics—an inexpensive form of entertainment, dear
to the economically disposed, who flattered themselves that they
could wipe out all social debts by a table-cloth spread on a mossy
slope (within an easy ride from cantonment), and to this they bid
their friends in order to partake of cheap fruit, bazaar-made cake,
and smoked tea—the selected “view” supplying every deficiency.
There were snug little select tea-parties, where the viands were
dainty and luxurious, and to match the company—appetizing
luncheons, carried off to be discussed miles away under pine trees,
and facing indistinct blue valleys and brilliantly white peaks; and of
all these expeditions, the “Noah’s Ark” picnic was indisputably the
most popular.
In June the climate, society, scenery of Shirani all pointed to
picnics, with again picnics, and more picnics. They were
unceremonious, easily enjoyed, easily declined. New-comers from
below, after a month among dim cool pine woods, or a critical study
of a deep valley, clothed with gorgeous forest trees, blazing with red,
pink, and white rhododendrons, found it difficult to believe that there
was such a place far beneath them as tawny-coloured hard-baked
plains, over which, instead of a delicate fragrant breeze, roared the
brazen-mouthed blast of the fire-eating hot winds. The al fresco
season culminated in a “married ladies’” picnic—chiefly got up by
Mrs. Langrishe and Mrs. Brande. There had been a committee
meeting at the ladies’ room at the club; Mrs. Langrishe was voted
secretary—being very capable with her pen. The conference had
been held with closed doors—solemn—and secret.
All the same, some of the motions and arrangements had leaked
out. It was known that Mrs. Brande had volunteered to provide the
champagne—also fowls, hams, and raised pies. Mrs. Sladen was
down for afternoon tea, cups and saucers, milk, sugar, and cake.
Mrs. Dashwood provided cheroots, cigarettes, and pegs.
Mrs. Loyd, the sweets, tarts, jellies, and méringues.
Mrs. Clark, the soup.
Mrs. Glover, the ices. The thing was to be done in style.
Mrs. Paul, the Padré’s wife (having a large family), was let off with
coffee.
“Your own cups and spoons of course,” added the secretary
imperatively.
Mrs. Langrishe—there was a long-drawn breath of expectancy, as
she read out her own name, “Well, she would provide the
appointments, table-cloths, and napkins, plates, knives and forks,
bread, salad—and water.” There was a pause, and she continued
impressively—
“It was not every one who would care to risk their nice things” (she
would borrow from Manockjee, the Parsee shop); “but she would
venture,” and her meek coadjutors accepted her contribution just as
gratefully as Mrs. Brande’s champagne and ham. It was one of her
usual master strokes, and the picnic would cost her nothing, beyond
the use of some house linen and a few loaves of bread.
All the station were to be invited; the place selected was five miles
from Shirani; the guests were to assemble at Mrs. Langrishe’s
house. With her usual ability, she took the entire honours upon
herself, and got the whole credit of the entertainment in anticipation.
Of course it was to be a Noah’s Ark affair.
The company met at half-past eleven at “St. Germain’s” (Major
Langrishe’s Bungalow), and Mrs. Brande, who was supplying the
most expensive portion of the feast, felt it a little hard to be received
as a guest by the woman who was only bringing crockery and table-
cloths,—indeed all the hostesses were secretly restive and
displeased. The ladies dipped their hands into a basket and each
drew out a man’s name (their fate) on a slip of paper, and although
Lalla believed that she had thrust him well down to the bottom—with
a little twist in the paper, so that she could recognize it herself—
Honor drew the prize, in the shape of Sir Gloster Sandilands, to that
gentleman’s transparent delight. Subsequently Honor offered to
exchange him, or draw again, when Lalla sharply assured her that
“there was some mistake—that his name had been written twice,
and that she had also drawn the baronet.” Finally it was arranged
that Honor and Lalla should divide—Honor to ride to the picnic with
Mr. Jervis, and Lalla with Sir Gloster, and to exchange cavaliers on
the return journey. Thus the affair was amicably settled. Honor would
have been thankful to have avoided the baronet altogether: she had
more than a dim idea that he liked her, and he was always talking to
her about his place at home, and his mother, and saying how much
he wished that he could introduce her to both. Mrs. Brande could not
complain that he did not call: on one pretext or other, he came every
day, bringing a book, or a paper, or looking in to ask the name of
some wild flower, or for a cup of tea, or without any excuse at all, but
simply to sit and stare at Honor Gordon.
Mrs. Brande was not quite such a blind bat as some people
supposed. This possible match had some advantages. It would all
but be the death of Mrs. Langrishe! her niece would be Lady
Sandilands; but, on the other hand, she could not bear to lose
Honor! Shirani had its eyes wide open also, and Mrs. Daubeny had
countermanded her daughter’s two new dresses.
At last the cortège set out for the scene of their next meal, some
riding, some on foot, many ladies in dandies. The distance was five
miles, through leafy dells, green glades, and steep paths cut out
through the forest. Captain Waring had drawn the heiress, and was
happy; Sir Gloster was with Lalla, who was radiant. There was a
considerable distance between some couples, whilst others kept as
close together as a girls’ school.
“I did not know that dogs were invited to picnics!” exclaimed a
querulous voice from a dandy, coming up behind Miss Gordon, Mr.
Jervis, and Ben.
“Ben had a special card of invitation all to himself, Mrs.
Dashwood,” replied his owner.
“Well, I trust he is the only one of his species that has been thus
honoured, and that it is not going to be a precedent.”
“Don’t you like dogs?” inquired Jervis.
“No, I’m desperately afraid of them, and they seem to know it. The
only dog I could possibly bring myself to tolerate would be a dog
without teeth! Well, I must be pushing on—I hope you are making
yourself very agreeable to Miss Gordon, Mr. Jervis?” she added
playfully.
“I’m afraid not. My stock of ideas is rather low; perhaps you can
suggest some novel and interesting topic.”
“Your own life and adventures,” cried the lady, as she passed
ahead of them; “try that.”
“What were we talking about?” said Jervis. “Shall we go back to
the last remark but six?”
“Easier said than done,” rejoined his companion gaily; “we must
start a fresh subject.”
“Well, I doubt if my life and adventures would be of thrilling
interest,” he continued, turning to Honor, and it struck her that she
had never once heard her present companion allude in any way to
his home or his belongings. This was a beautiful opening, if he would
but avail himself of it.
“Mrs. Dashwood has set me a stiff task—it is not every one’s
fortune to have an adventurous career.” (If all tales were true,
sensational events had largely punctuated the lady’s own history.)
“Now, which would you rather have—interesting falsehoods, or very
dull truths?”
“Neither, I think.”
“And what about your life and adventures?”
“Oh, I have spent most of my days in a quiet little village, and can
scarcely recall a single incident, except that I once upset a donkey
cart!”
“I can go one better, as they say, for I have upset a coach!” then
he coloured and added hastily, and as if he deprecated any
questions, “I too have led a common-place life. I was born out here,
and was not sent home until I was six, for which reason I find my
native tongue has come back to me.”
“It has indeed—I have often been amazed at your extraordinary
fluency in talking Hindostani; I thought that you had a marvellous
talent for languages.”
“Which I have not, nor indeed for anything.”
“Miss Paske says that you have a talent for silence,” said Honor
demurely.
“Miss Paske’s sayings are being quoted all over the place, with the
weight of so many proverbs! She says women do all their thinking in
church. She declares that her sex lie from timidity—and nothing else.
Shall I continue?”
“No; I should prefer your own original remarks, to Miss Paske at
second hand,” said Honor, “though I confess that I am responsible
for introducing her into the conversation. After you came from India,
what did you do?”
“I went to school—from school to college—then I lived in London,
off and on, till I came out here. Our joint lives and adventures don’t
amount to much! I am always longing for some uncommon
experience, but such things seem to fight shy of me.”
“Look! There is poor Mrs. Sladen on that horrid pulling pony,”
interrupted Honor suddenly; “she is dreadfully afraid of it, but dare
not say so——”
“Being between the devil and the deep sea?”
“Which is the deep sea? Colonel Sladen or the Budmash?” asked
the young lady with an air of innocent inquiry.
“Whichever you please. I believe ages ago, when he was young
and active, Sladen was a first-class man on a horse, and rode races.
Who would think it to look at him now? he weighs about seventeen
stone!”
“And completely upsets the old theory, that fat people are always
good-natured!”
“He is keen enough about horses and ponies still; you may notice
that he has always good animals.”
“Good to look at,” amended Miss Gordon quickly.
“Yes, and to go as well; and as he cannot ride them to sell, as he
used to do once, he now thrusts poor unfortunate Mrs. Sladen into
the saddle. The Noah’s Ark animals have not been so badly paired,”
continued the young man. “Please look at the Dâk Bungalow fowl
walking with the European ham! Do you think the combination was
premeditated?”
“No, purely accidental, I should imagine. I must say that I think it is
a shame, the way people are given nick-names!”
“I suppose it is an idle amusement for idle minds. I believe that I
have been honoured with one or two new names myself—I don’t
mind in the least—and I happen to know for a fact that Waring is
extremely pleased with his!”
“Which is more than would be the case with most people. For
instance, do you suppose that Miss Cook would be pleased to hear
that she is known as ‘good plain Cook’?”
“Well, you know our nurses used to tell us, that it is better to be
good than beautiful! And here we are!”
The rendezvous was now reached, Honor and her companion
being almost the last to arrive. There was a superb and
uninterrupted view of the snows, but the sight of something to eat
would have been preferred by some folk. What had become of the
coolies and the tiffin? The table-cloths were spread (and even
decorated), but save for some bowls of salad, and a meagre
allowance of rolls, nothing eatable was to be seen.
Inquiries were made, and at last the dreadful news began to
circulate, at first by degrees, and was then officially confirmed. The
luncheon had been lost!
Mrs. Langrishe and Mrs. Brande’s khansamahs—who were at the
head of affairs—were deadly rivals. Mrs. Langrishe’s man wished to
be leader (like his mistress); he laid down the law, and he ordered
every one’s coolies and servants to place themselves under his
directions. “Instead of being quiet and shamed, as he ought to have
been, the—the nouker” (i.e. servant) “of a mem sahib who only sent
empty plates.” This was the idea of Mrs. Brande’s khansamah, and
to his opinion he gave loud and angry utterance. A desperate quarrel
ensued. He said the lunch was to be sent to one place—Mrs.
Brande’s man declared as emphatically that it was to be despatched
to another. The latter was the most powerful, and carried his point,
and what was worse, carried all the other servants and coolies away
with him! At this moment they were carefully laying out a really
excellent repast, at a favourite rendezvous, exactly seven miles on
the other side of Shirani, and twelve from the present hungry
company.
Mrs. Langrishe’s fare—yes, it had leaked out—was all that was to
be set before them!
Some people were extremely angry. Colonel Sladen, who had
valued his thirst at ten rupees—not that any one was anxious to
purchase it—was really almost beside himself! Sir Gloster, though he
was in love, looked desperately glum. “Ben” Brande, I must honestly
confess, was visibly disappointed. Dry bread and salad were not in
his line, and he had affectionate recollections of a delicious smell
from his mistress’s cook house. Some people laughed—Honor and
her companion were amongst the most hilarious.
Mrs. Langrishe was shown in her true colours for once, and had
retired into somewhat mortified retreat under a neighbouring rock.
Mrs. Brande was overwhelmed. “Where,” she asked with tears in her
voice, “was her khansamah? Where were her raised pies, her
Grecian salad, her iced asparagus?” But though her hospitable soul
was vexed, she was not sorry that her rival’s generous share should
be thus set forth before every eye.
The party, on the whole, took this unparalleled catastrophe
uncommonly well. They ate dry bread (with or without salt), drank
water, and wound up with lettuces. Afterwards the men smoked
themselves into complete serenity. If there had only been tea, but,
alas! the tea had followed the infamous example of the champagne.
Naturally such a lunch had not taken long to despatch. What was
to be done? How was the next empty hour to be put in?
And here Miss Lalla Paske came forward, and threw herself into
the gap. In after days, her aunt always credited Lalla with one good
action.
Rising, without waiting to catch any one’s eye, she slowly
sauntered off with her little swaggering air, and mounting a mossy
rock, and arranging herself in a picturesque attitude, despatched a
cavalier for her banjo, which she presently began to thrum, and had
soon (as she desired) collected a crowd. When she had assembled
a sufficiently large audience, she struck up a nigger melody, with
admirable art and liveliness, and instantly every male voice was
joining in the chorus. Mrs. Langrishe and Mrs. Brande arrived
together upon the scene, and beheld the sprightly Lalla, the centre of
attraction, mounted on an impromptu throne, surrounded by
admirers. Such moments were some of her unhappy aunt’s few
compensations. Oh! if one of these admirers would but come forward
and ask for the delicate, wiry little hand, now so skilfully thrumming a
ranche melody.
The fair songstress made a charming picture, she had the family
instinct for effect,—her supple figure was thrown into delightful relief
by a dense green background, and one pretty little foot dangled
carelessly over a slab of rock—such a pretty little foot, in such a
pretty little shoe!
And where was Mrs. Brande’s niece? Standing among the crowd,
a mere spectator of her rival’s success. All at once Lalla suddenly
handed her banjo to Sir Gloster, and said briskly—
“Now, who would like their fortunes told? Please don’t all speak
together.”
“Lalla is really marvellous,” whispered Mrs. Langrishe to her
companion. “She has made quite a study of palmistry, and is most
successful.”
Mrs. Brande looked severely incredulous, but she could see that
Lalla was now closely invested by a circle of outspread palms, and a
clamouring crowd of would-be clients. (Some people declared that
this accomplishment was merely an excuse on Miss Paske’s part for
holding men’s hands, and that she knew absolutely nothing of the
gipsy’s art, but was a shrewd judge of character, and made up
cleverly as she went along.) Also another notable and highly
suspicious fact—she invariably meted out the most alarming fortunes
to those she did not like. She appeared to take a vindictive pleasure
in calmly expatiating on their impending calamities, and made the
most sinister announcements with a smile.
At present she was examining Mrs. Brande’s hand, with a
puckered, thoughtful brow.
She had not time to do all the hands, she declared, and those she
did undertake must be entirely of her own selection.
“You have had an unexpected share of this world’s goods,” she
stated at last, raising her voice, so that every syllable was audible.
“You will always be well-to-do, but your present hopes will be
disappointed. In the course of time, your life will undergo a change.
You are threatened with softening of the brain—yes! your head line
runs down upon the moon—you will probably be an incurable idiot,
and bed-ridden for many years.”
“Thank you,” cried Mrs. Brande, snatching away her fat hand.
“That will do me for the present;” and she fell back among the crowd,
muttering disjointed sentences, that sounded like “London—had up
in police-court, fortune-telling against the law—six months’ hard
labour.” But Mrs. Brande’s terrible fate and smothered indignation
failed to dissuade others, in answer to Miss Lalla’s clear—
“The next.”
Miss Ryder, a pretty girl, with fair hair, and pathetic blue eyes,
came timidly forward, and gazed pleadingly at the oracle.
“Yes—humph,” critically examining Miss Ryder’s pink palm. “Your
head is entirely governed by your heart, and oh dear me! there is a
dreadful cross on the heart line, a broken marriage. No,” turning the
hand sideways, “I see no marriage line on your hand, but a great
many small worries; truthfulness is not an attribute—no; you will live
long, and enjoy fairly good health.”
Miss Ryder shrank back, with a distinctly sobered countenance,
and in answer to the fortune-teller’s desire, Mark Jervis was pushed
forward. He tendered his hand reluctantly, and only for the
Englishman’s usual hatred of a fuss, would have withheld it
altogether. Miss Paske disliked Mr. Jervis with his cool, ambiguous
manner—he was a mere hanger on, scarcely worth powder and
shot, but he was a friend of Honor Gordon’s, and she would make
him ridiculous for her benefit!
“Oh, what a hand!” she exclaimed, with a scornful laugh. “A fair
enough head line, a great capacity for holding your tongue,
especially on any subject concerning yourself. You do not think it
necessary to tell the whole truth on all occasions.” This was a
palpable home-thrust, for in the face of half Shirani, Mark Jervis
coloured visibly. “Secret, clear-headed, with great self-command.
Yes; you would make a fine conspirator, and I think you are a bit of
an impostor.” Again the colour deepened in the subject’s tan cheek.
“Line of heart nil. Fate much broken, I see—the mark of some kind of
imprisonment; a life solitary and apart,” and holding the palm nearer
to her eyes, “there is a great and unexpected change of fortune in
store for you, which entails trouble. And there is the mark—of a
violent death, or you will be the cause of another person’s death—
the lines,” dropping his hand with a hopeless gesture, “are really too
faint to read anything more with success.”
“Thanks awfully; it is very good of you to let me down so easily. I
know you see a halter in my hand, but have wished to spare my
feelings.”
Lalla looked at him indignantly—he was laughing. How dared he
laugh at her?
“Now, Sir Gloster, it is your turn”—beckoning to him graciously.
Sir Gloster thrust out a very large, soft, white hand, and said, “This
is worse than the stool of repentance. If you discover anything very
bad, I implore you to whisper it in my ear, my dear Miss Paske.”
“Now, this really is a hand!” she exclaimed, looking round as if she
was surprised to find that it was not a foot! “You have a splendid
head line.”
Sir Gloster coloured consciously, and glanced surreptitiously at
Honor, as much as to say, “I hope you heard that!”
“Quite a commanding intellect—you could do almost anything you
chose—and are likely to be successful in your aims. A strong will; a
magnificent line of fate—yes, yes, yes, all the good things! You will
marry a fair wife; you will meet her in India—in fact, you have met
her already. You had some illnesses before you were ten——”
“That’s safe,” scoffed Mrs. Brande from the background; “teething
and measles—I could have told that!”
“You have really a splendid hand,” pursued Lalla. “I should like to
make a cast of it.”
“She would like to have it altogether,” grunted Colonel Sladen to
his immediate neighbours.
“Now, Captain Waring, for you?” cried the oracle, invitingly.
Captain Waring, smiling, prosperous, perfectly ready to be
amused, stepped forward with alacrity.
“A fine broad palm! A magnificent line of fate; great riches are
strongly marked—rather susceptible to our sex; a wonderful power of
drawing people to you; you will not marry for some years.” As he
stood aside, Lalla said, “Last, but not least, Miss Gordon. Oh, come
along, Miss Gordon”—beckoning with an imperious finger.
“Thank you, I would rather not be done,” she answered stiffly.
“What?” inquired young Jervis, in an undertone. “Not be butchered
to make a station’s holiday?”
“Oh, nonsense!” persisted Lalla rather shrilly. “Your aunt has been
‘done,’ as you call it, and I am anxious to see what type your hand
belongs to—it’s sure to be artistic.”
“There is a nice little bait for you,” whispered Jervis. “Surely you
cannot refuse that.”
“Oh, Miss Gordon, we all want to hear your fortune,” cried several
voices; and, in spite of her unwillingness, Honor soon found herself
in Miss Paske’s clutches.
“Ahem! Artistic, yes. A dark hand; a little deceitful; not much heart;
very ambitious. I see some disease, like small-pox, or a bad
accident, in store for you; you will marry when you are about forty.
Let me look again. No, you and your husband will not agree. You will
live long, and die suddenly.”
“How I wish some one could tell Miss Paske’s fortune!” cried
Captain Waring, with unusual animation. “Shall I try?” suddenly
seizing it. “Great vivacity; despotic will; love of admiration; line of
heart nil; and the girdle of Venus—oh—oh——”
“Oh, nonsense!”—wrenching it away impatiently. “Here is Mr. Joy,
who knows something far more interesting—a new and much shorter
way of going home.”
This was seemingly an important piece of intelligence. Yes, there
was a decided alacrity about getting under way. Hunger is a vulgar,
but a very human weakness, and soon every one set off in the wake
of scatter-brained Toby and Miss Paske; and nothing but a few
scraps of newspaper and cigar-ends marked the conclusion of what
is known to this day in Shirani as the “Great Starvation Picnic.”
CHAPTER XXII.
TOBY JOY’S SHORT CUT.
Honor Gordon and Sir Gloster sent their ponies on ahead—as the
path was all downhill—and elected to walk. To tell the truth, the
gentleman was a nervous rider, and greatly preferred pedestrian
exercise. It was an ominous fact, that whereas Sir Gloster had
closely accompanied Miss Gordon and her escort on their way to the
picnic—so much so, indeed, as to be almost always within earshot—
he now brusquely shook off any of the party who evinced a desire to
attach themselves to him and his companion.
“Miss Paske was most amusing as a fortune-teller and all that sort
of thing,” he remarked, “but were you not rather uneasy about your
future?”
“Not a bit”—contemptuously kicking a little cone downhill; “she
made it up as she went along.”
“She was awfully down on young Jervis. What a career she
painted for him, poor beggar!”
“The wish was doubtless father to the thought. She does not like
him.”
“And the idea of her saying that you would not be married till you
were forty! As if you could not marry to-morrow, if you chose!”
Honor began to feel uncomfortable and to long for the presence of
a third person: she made a lively gesture of dissent as she prepared
to scramble down an exceedingly steep and greasy footpath.
“You know you could,” pursued Sir Gloster, seizing her hand, by
way of giving her assistance, and nearly precipitating her to mother
earth. “For example, you might marry me.”
Miss Paske had just assured him that he would succeed in his
aims, and he was resolved to test her prophecy without delay.
“Oh, Sir Gloster!” exclaimed the young lady, vainly trying to
release her fingers.
“You will let me keep this dear little hand for ever? I fell in love with
you almost from the first. You are beautiful and musical, and would
understand at once the fitness of things. My mother would like you.
Do you think you could care for me, and all that sort of thing?”
“Oh, Sir Gloster,” she repeated, pausing on the path, a sudden red
suffusing her cheeks, and looking at him with real dismay, “I like you
—but not in that way.”
“Perhaps I have been too sudden. If I were to wait a week or two.
Let me talk to your aunt?”
“No, no, please”—with anxious repudiation. “It would make no
difference. I am sorry, but I never, never could care for you as you
wish.”
Mrs. Sladen and Mark Jervis, who were behind, descending the
same zigzag path, happened to be immediately above the pair.
Sounds ascend, and they were at the moment silent, when suddenly,
through the leaves, and the cool evening air, a voice seemed wafted
to their feet, which said—
“I have been too sudden. If I were to wait a week or two. Let me
talk to your aunt.”
Mrs. Sladen and her companion looked straight at one another,
and became guiltily crimson. There was a moment’s pause, ere the
man exclaimed—
“There is no use in our pretending we are deaf! We have just
heard what was never meant for other ears, and I’m awfully sorry.”
“So am I,” she answered; “sorry in one way, glad in another.”
“I doubt if Mrs. Brande would share your joy,” he retorted with a
significant smile.
“Of course we will keep it a dead secret.”
“Of course”—emphatically. “On the whole,” with a short laugh, “I
am not sure that it is not safer to write.”
“Is this what you will do?” she inquired playfully.
“I don’t know, but I certainly have had a lesson not to try my fate
coming home from a crowded picnic. What a dismal walk those two
will have! Can you imagine a more unpleasant tête-à-tête? What can
they talk about now?”
“Their walk, and every one’s, seems ended here,” remarked Mrs.
Sladen, pointing to a crowd of coolies, dandies, men, ladies, and
ponies who were all jammed together and making a great noise.
“Of course, this is Toby Joy’s short cut, and most likely a practical
joke,” exclaimed Jervis. “I believe he was at the bottom of the lost
lunch too.”
The much-boasted short cut was likely to prove the proverbial
“longest way round,” and now afforded a very disagreeable surprise
to the company of merry pleasure-seekers. They had been
descending a densely wooded shoulder of a hill, with the cheery
confidence of ignorance, to where at one point an artificially banked-
up and stone-faced road crossed a deep gorge.
The path, owing to the action of the rain, had slipped down, and
there was now but a precarious footing across the breach, barely
wide enough for a single pony—and that a steady one. Above,
towered the hill, almost sheer; below, lay the blue shale precipice,
clothed in fir trees, bushes, and brambles. To a hill coolie, or a
person with a good head, it was passable; at least twenty had gone
over, including Mrs. Brande in her dandy, who waved her hand
jauntily as she was carried across. She was a plucky woman, as far
as precipices were concerned.
Some who were nervous hesitated on the brink—they were torn
between two conflicting emotions, hunger and fear; many were
actually beginning to retrace their steps. Toby Joy, on his hard-
mouthed yellow “tat,” was riding backwards and forwards over the
chasm to demonstrate how easy it was, and bragging and joking and
making himself so conspicuous that some of his misguided victims—
including Colonel Sladen—would not have been at all sorry if he had
vanished down the Khud.
Colonel Sladen’s hunger stimulated his temper. The traditional
bear with a sore head was a playful and gentle animal, in
comparison to him, at the present moment. He had been a noted
horseman in his day, but being now much too heavy to ride, he was
fond of bragging of his ponies, and thrusting that light weight, his
unhappy wife, into positions that made her blood run ice, and then
he would boast and say, “Pooh! the pony is a lamb! My wife rides
him, rides him with a thread, sir;” and he would straddle his legs, and
swagger about the club, and subsequently sell the animal at a high
figure.
“A nasty place to ride across! Not a bit of it—it’s safer than doing it
on foot. These hill ponies never make mistakes.” This he had
remarked in his gruffest tone to Captain Waring, whose fair
companion was literally trembling on the brink. “Wait—and just you
watch how my wife will do it, on the Budmash—she will show you all
the way. Milly,” he bellowed, looking up the hill, “come along, come
along.”
“Oh,” she exclaimed, turning a face as white as death on Mark, “I
really dare not ride across that place. I have no nerve now, and this
is the shying pony.”
“Come on! Don’t you see that you are stopping up the road?”
roared her lord and master, indicating the various people who were
sneaking back. Then, as she joined him, he added in a lower tone—
“I would not be such a coward to save my life.”
“I am a coward,” she muttered to Mark with a ghastly smile, “and I
doubt if even that will save my life;” and she began to put her pony in
motion.
“It is only fifty yards across,” said Jervis, encouragingly; “it will be
over in two minutes. I’ll get off and lead your pony, and I guarantee
to take you over safely.”
“Are you going?” cried Colonel Sladen, impatiently. “Get along,
and give the other women a lead. Oh!” to her escort, who had
