Strickland whispered a rather coarse vernacular proverb to the effect that he was abreast of all that was going on, and went into the Court armed with a gut trainer's whip. STRICKLAND WHISPERED A RATHER COARSE VERNACULAR PROVERB TO THE EFFECT THAT HE WAS ABREAST OF ALL THAT WAS GOING ON AND WENT INTO THE COURT ARMED WITH A GUT TRAINER'S WHIP
_! That Bronckhorst beast isn't fit to live.' There was uproar and shouting, and Biel said, 'How are you going to prove it? You can't say that you've been trespassing on Bronckhorst's compound in disguise!' 'No,' said Strickland. 'Tell your lawyer-fool, whoever he is, to get up something strong about "inherent improbabilities" and "discrepancies of evidence". He won't have to speak, but it will make him happy, _I_'m going to run this business.' Biel held his tongue, and the other men waited to see what would happen. They trusted Strickland as men trust quiet men. When the case came off the Court was crowded. Strickland hung about in the veranda of the Court, till he met the Mohammedan _khitmutgar_. Then he murmured a _fakir's_ blessing in his ear, and asked him how his second wife did. The man spun round, and, as he looked into the eyes of 'Estreekin Sahib', his jaw dropped. You must remember that before Strickland was married, he was, as I have told you already, a power among natives.
