When he saw Tŭngku Dâlam, he hailed him, saying: 'Welcome! Welcome!
Seeing that Tŭngku Pa was in no wise to be tempted or shamed into giving battle, To’ Kâya went past the spot where the body of Ma’ Chik still lay, until he came to the pool of blood which marked the place where Tŭngku Long Pĕndêkar had come by his death.

To’ Kâya, passing up the path, met a woman named Ma’ Chik a very aged, bent, and feeble crone and her he stabbed in the breast, killing her on the spot. Thence he went to the compound of a pilgrim named Haji Mih, who was engaged in getting his property out of his house in case the fire spread. Haji Mih asked To’ Kâya how the fire had originated.

You won't do for the Honourable Company they like red. I'm glad I didn't give you the shilling. Good day to you."
