"Quite enough so to convince even the most indifferent observer that you were extremely rejoiced at the event," replied Dalhousie, willing to make out a strong case. Jaspar did not reply, and it was plain Dalhousie's remarks had had their effect. "But, Mr. Dumont, I flatter myself I am a man of discretion.
The stranger hesitated; he was gazing down with grave intentness. "Miss Heth, Dal swears he can't remember the boat's upsetting at all." His tone expressed, oddly, not so much a contradiction of anybody as a somewhat ingenuous hope for corroboration: Carlisle's ear caught that note at once. She was observing Jack Dalhousie's shabby friend as a determined adversary observes.
Dalhousie and his wife, followed by Uncle Nathan and Pat Fegan, entered the room. Jaspar fixed his glaring eyes upon those whom he supposed were rotting within the precincts of his Inquisition. His power of speech seemed to have deserted him, and he shook all over like an aspen-leaf. To Jaspar alone on the estate was the secret of Dalhousie's imprisonment known.
The Company were now the actual rulers of the Carnatic, and the future Nawabs were styled 'Titular Nawabs. In 1855 the third of the Titular Nawabs died without any son to succeed him. Lord Dalhousie was Governor-General of India at the time, and it was Lord Dalhousie's declared policy that if the ruler of any native state died without issue, his dominions should formally lapse to the Company.

Cally spoke from her heart and her fear, without greeting, in a nervous childish voice: "I I wanted to see you, to to ask you to talk with you as to what must be done...." Jack Dalhousie's friend bowed gravely. There was no victory on his face, neither was there any judgment. "I understood," he said simply, "and was grateful to you." He, certainly, seemed aware of no discordance in himself.
And she had bolted too fast, it seemed, to consider even that, with that cry, there had come a new element into the situation, disturbing to the old argument. The full reach and meaning of Jack Dalhousie's letter seemed to be coming upon her now for the first time, just when she had ritually cremated it.
Those years were filled with wars and rumours of wars. The Afghan disasters and triumphs, the war in Central India, the wars with the Sikhs, Lord Dalhousie's annexations, threw law reform into the background, and produced a state of mind not very favourable to it.
Her glorious ash-gold hair, whose habit of crinkling from the roots was so exasperating to contemporaries of her own sex, swept loose over the pillows, charmingly framing her face....
