In fact, so far as the historical texts go, he disappears from the scene till the time of Nebuchadnezzar I., when he is incidentally invoked in a group with Ramman and Nanâ as the gods of a district in Babylonia known as Namar. Exactly where Namar lay has not yet been ascertained.
Even as the tiger slinks in dread from a pack of the red wild-dogs, so a regular force might well dread these flying horsemen. And it was Amir Khan that Nana Sahib, and the renegade French commander, Jean Baptiste, dreaded and distrusted. Overtures had been made to him without result. He was a wonderful leader. He had made the name of the Pindari feared throughout India.
When by chance they were left alone together they were never disturbed by wondering if their friendship verged on love. There was no harm in such affection. Nana was now six years old and a most troublesome little sprite. Her mother took her every morning to a school in the Rue Polonceau, to a certain Mlle Josse. Here she did all manner of mischief.
Motioning to Sru and Nana my crew to hand my few little effects, which consisted of clothing, tobacco, and a Winchester rifle and ammunition, out of the canoe, the whole party of us started off for Kusis's house, the old pig-hunter proudly carrying the Winchester in advance, and Kusis and his wife each holding one of my hands.
Darling felt in his bones that all the blame was his for having chained Nana up, and that from first to last she had been wiser than he.
If they ran it was to show their slender ankles, and when they stopped and panted for breath it was sure to be at the side of some youths young workmen of their acquaintance who smoked in their faces as they talked. Nana had her favorite, whom she always saw at a great distance Victor Fauconnier and Pauline adored a young cabinetmaker, who gave her apples.

On the following day a messenger arrived from Nana, requesting Sufder to place himself with his troop, and such other captains as he could rely upon, on the road a mile west of Poona.
Nana had been the greatest enemy of the house of Rugoba; and the discovery of this correspondence, and the friendship between the two young men, so threatened his authority that, after ordering that Bajee Rao and his brothers should be more strictly confined than before, he visited the Peishwa and upbraided him bitterly for having entered upon a friendship with the head of a party which had harassed his family, and had brought innumerable troubles on the state.
Oh, my chicken, you're too STOOPID. Nana has other good points, by heaven! something which is as good as all the other things put together. I've smelled it out; it's deuced pronounced with her, or I've got the scent of an idiot. You'll see, you'll see! She's only got to come on, and all the house will be gaping at her."
They invited the Coupeaus and the Boche family, as Pauline made her first Communion on that day, as well as Nana. The evening before, while Nana stood in an ecstasy of delight before her presents, her father came in in an abominable condition.
