"Believe me that for the present this will be the best place for both of us," and then he led her into the house. "Dear Lucius, it would always be best for me to be with you, if it were possible."

This is the answer to the puzzle, but Chando prevented your guessing it, because you unjustly took the poor man's cow and as a lesson to you that he is lord of all, of the poor and weak as well as of Rajas and Princes."
