Commander Kassim, the Chief has been slain.
gpt
How--who?
human
I know not, Commander.
gpt
Who has passed the guard here?
human
But one, the Afghan, who was expected by the Chief. He went forth but lately.
gpt
A Patan! Kassim roared.
human
Trust a woman and a snake but not a Patan. He turned to the whiskered jamadar:
gpt
Quick, go you with men and bring the Afghan. To another he said,
human
Command to enter from there --his hand swept the mob in front--
gpt
Up the hill--surround the palace! and guard every window and rat-run!
human
Commander, none could have entered from outside to do the foul deed.
gpt
Liar! lazy sleeper! --he smashed with his foot the _hookah_ that sat on the marble floor, its long stem coiled like a snake--
human
While you busied over such, and opium, one has slipped by.
gpt
Stay here with this monkey of the tall trees, and see that none pass. I go to the Chief. When the Afghan comes have him brought up.
