"Go and warn them to finish eating and be ready to march in twenty minutes!" So I went, and delivered the message, and it was as I had expected, only worse. "So those are his words? What are words!" said they. "Ask him whither he would lead us!" shouted Gooja Singh. He had been talking in whispers with a dozen men at the rear of the middle hut.

Excerpt: ...argument. "What if they refuse?" said I, and Ranjoor Singh faced about to look at me. "Do you refuse?" he asked. "Go and warn them to finish eating and be ready to march in twenty minutes!" So I went, and delivered the message, and it was as I had expected, only worse. "So those are his words?
