[The Adventures of Kathlyn by Harold MacGrath]@TWC D-Link bookThe Adventures of Kathlyn CHAPTER XVII 6/29
Kathlyn was a novelty; Winnie was not. Besides, one of them watched Winnie constantly, because the bearded scoundrel had attracted her fancy and because she hoped to enchain his. So the note from Kathlyn did not pass unnoticed, though Winnie believed that she was without espionage. Kathlyn, her father, Bruce, Ramabai and Pundita met at the colonel's bungalow, and with Ahmed's help they thrashed out the plan to rescue Winnie.
Alone, the little sister would not be able to find her way out of the garden of brides.
It was Kathlyn's idea to have Winnie pretend she needed air and sunshine and a walk in the garden after the doctor's visit.
The rescue would be attempted from the walls. Juggernaut, or Jagannath in Hindustani (meaning Lord of the World), was an idol so hideously done in wood that the Prince of Hell would have taken it to be the personification of a damned soul, could he have glimpsed it in the temple at Allaha.
The god's face was dark, his lips and mouth were horribly and significantly red; his eyes were polished emeralds, his arms were of gilt, his body was like that of a toad.
