She did not act, when she was in the aëroplane, as she did when she was in the parade,
gpt
I make her act different, sahib. I tell her how she was to be. I have de so great power I do that. Other fakirs not so great as Ben Ali.
human
We've heard enough, said Matt.
gpt
Now, as yet, you have only partly earned your freedom, Ben Ali. You have still to do what I shall tell you.
human
What is that, sahib?
gpt
You will, by the aid of hypnotism, undo all the evil you have done, as much as possible. For instance, you will impress on Haidee, as she stands there, the truth that she is Margaret Manners, and that she will remember it, and all her past, when she wakes. After that, you are to waken her and take yourself off.
human
Yes, answered the Hindoo.
gpt
My freedom is dear to me. Perhaps --and he smiled--
human
I have something yet to do with Motor Matt.
gpt

gpt
You will lie as you are! declared Matt sharply.
human
You can do your work as well this way as in any other.
gpt
I will try, said the Hindoo, after a moment's pause. Then, in a loud voice, he called:
human
Haidee!
gpt
Yes,
human
When you wake, _meetoowah_, you will remember that you are Margaret Manners.
gpt
Yes.
human
You will remember all, everything--Calcutta, your father, Captain Manners, your mother, your mother's brother, de rajah. But you forget Ben Ali, and you think no more of him. You understand?
gpt
Yes.
human
Now, young sahib, said he,
gpt
Hold to him on that side, Joe, cautioned Matt,
human
Sufferin' fairy tales! grumbled McGlory.
gpt
I hate to do it, pard, and that's honest, but I reckon, from what I've heard, that you know what you're about. It's a hard way to bring right and justice to the girl by letting this scoundrel escape the law, but there don't seem to be anything else for it.
