"You should have credit for great secrecy," admitted Ranjoor Singh. "Until a little while ago I had heard nothing of any German plans." "Russia got the blame for what little was guessed at!" laughed the German. "Oh!" said Ranjoor Singh. A little before midday they reached the Ajmere Gate, and the lumbering cart passed under it.
Defeating the Emperor Mahmoud, Hamir entered Chitor in triumph, and once again the standard of the Sun floated over its blood-stained rocks. The Emperor Mahmoud himself was led captive into Chitor, and kept prisoner there for three months until he regained his liberty by surrendering Ajmere, Rinthumbore, Nagore, and Sooe Sopoor, with fifty lacs of rupees and a hundred elephants.
He held the Punjab and the North-western Provinces, as we know those provinces, including Gwalior and Ajmere to the west, Lucknow, and the remainder of Oudh, including Allahábád, as far as Jaunpur, to the east. Benares, Chanar, and the provinces of Bengal and Behar, were still held by princes of the house of Sur, or by the representatives of other Afghán families.
He turned back to the broad playing-fields at his feet where a cricket match was going on. There was the true solution of the great problem, he thought. "Here at Ajmere," he said to himself, "Shere Ali could have learned what the West had to teach him. Had he come here he would have been spared the disappointments, and the disillusions. He would not have fallen in with Violet Oliver.
The designs are complex and entirely novel, and each is the work of a different artist, who was allowed entire liberty of design and execution, and endeavored to surpass his rivals. There are several other mosques and temples of great beauty in Ajmere, and some of them are sacred places that attract multitudes of pilgrims, who are fed daily by the benevolence of rich contributors.
On the contrary, I send him south. I send him to Ajmere, in Rajputana." "In Ajmere?" cried Linforth. "Yes. There is a great Mohammedan shrine.

I have a man there now. But that's not all.
He then decided to march in person with another army against Ranthambor. This he did early in the following year . As soon as he had compelled the surrender of the fortress, he returned to Agra, stopping on the way a week at Ajmere, to visit once again the mausoleum of the saint.
He would have married and ruled in his own country." As it was, he had gone instead to Eton and to Oxford, and Linforth must needs search for him over there in the huddled city under the Taragarh Hill. Ralston's Pathan was even then waiting for Linforth at the bottom of the tower. "Sir," he said, making a low salaam when Linforth had descended, "His Highness Shere Ali is now in Ajmere.
After the exchange of ideas with these noblemen, he pushed on to Ajmere, made his pilgrimage to the tomb of the saint, caused to be repressed the rising of a petty chief in the jungles of Jodhpur, and then returned to his favourite residence at Fatehpur-Síkrí. He had noticed, on his many journeys, that a very great part of the territories he had traversed remained uncultivated.
We would have liked nothing better, but time was flying, and the 5th November our day of departure from Bombay was drawing rapidly near. So yesterday evening we took the 6.30 train for Ajmere, and, reaching there at 10.30, changed into the narrow-gauge railway for Chitor.
