But Aziz got up to go .He had no choice .A servant wheeled his bicycle to him, and took it over a nail. Aziz jumped on,and rod furiousely away,without lights and brakes. when his tyre went flat ,the leapt off and shouted for a cab.He did not at first find one ,and he had to dispose of his bicycle at a frirnd's house; but at last he was ratting towards the Civil Station with a vivid sense of speed .He asked the driver to stop the cab just beyond the lights of the house,because Major Callendar would think he was getting above himself if he arrived at the door in a horse-drawn cab.
