'There came a strolling seller of drugs a hanger-on of the Sahiba's. Him I abolished by arguments and prayers, proving that our charms are worthier than his coloured waters. 'Alas, my charms! Is the virtuous woman still bent upon a new one? 'Very strictly. 'Then it must be written, or she will deafen me with her clamour. He fumbled at his pencase.
So, when with scufflings and scrapings and a hot air of importance, paddled up nothing less than the Sahiba's pet palanquin sent twenty miles, with that same grizzled old Oorya servant in charge, and when they reached the disorderly order of the long white rambling house behind Saharunpore, the lama took his own measures.
He comes up with his men and he consorts with the lama, and then he calls me a fool, and is very rude 'But wherefore wherefore? 'That is what I ask.
