Amulya then made the trembling manager, who had come to his senses, open the safe and deliver up six thousand rupees. Finally, he took one of the estate horses and galloped off a few miles, there let the animal loose, and quietly walked up here, to our place. "What made you do all this, Amulya?" I asked.

Other information equally valuable was given him by his masters.
She decided that at all costs Jaimihr must be out of the way so that the Maharaja might be left to argue with the priests alone. For the moment no other thought occurred to her. The means seemed ready to her hand.
Ajeet dipped a tapering finger in the pitcher of blood, touched the swaying bag of sugar, and laying the hand against his forehead said, in a loud voice: "If I, Ajeet Singh, break faith with Maharaja Sindhia, may Bhowanee punish me!" Sookdee and Hunsa each in turn took the same solemn oath of allegiance.
