As a woman of the Mahrattas, I trust that day will never come; but as one who knows the English, I have my fears. Of one thing I am sure, that were they masters here, the cultivators would be vastly better off than they are at present." Ramdass laughed. "What do you think of my sister's opinions, Anundee?"
"Anundee, you will, I am sure, join me in the welcome; and willingly give my sister and her child a place in our home?" "Assuredly. It will be pleasant for me, when you are in the fields, to have some one to talk to, and perhaps to help me about the house." Soyera saw that she was speaking sincerely. "Thank you, Anundee; you may be sure that I shall not be idle.
"Welcome back, little sister!" and he raised his voice, and called, "Anundee!" A young woman, two or three and twenty years of age, came to the door. "Wife," he said, "this is my sister Soyera, of whom you have often heard me speak. "Soyera, this is my wife. We have been married six years; but come in, and let us talk things over. "You have come home for good, I hope," he said.
I have been accustomed to work, and can take much off your hands; and will look after your two children;" for two boys, three or four years old, were standing before her, staring at the newcomer. "That will be pleasant, Soyera; indeed, sometimes they hinder me much in my work." "I am accustomed to children, Anundee, as I was for years nurse to English children, and know their ways."
"And now, Soyera," Ramdass said, when he returned from his work in the evening, "tell us more about yourself. First, how did you learn where I was living?" "I learned it from the wife of our cousin Sufder." "How did you fall in with him?" "Well, I must tell you something. I had meant to keep it entirely to myself, but I know that you and Anundee will keep my secret." "Assuredly we will.
Of course you can remain here if you prefer it, but it seems to me that the other would be the better plan." "I should certainly prefer to go with Sufder to my home," Soyera said. "I have numbers of acquaintances here, but no real friends; and Ramdass and Anundee will, I know, joyfully receive me." "At any rate, you shall be no burden to them, Soyera.
He received his master with the greatest joy, for he had feared he would be captured before leaving the camp. They continued their journey to Jooneer, where they halted for the night. Sufder went to his house, and Harry rode out to the farm. As Harry drew rein at the farm Soyera ran out, followed by her brother and Anundee, with cries of joy at his unexpected return.
You sent word that you were an officer in the Peishwa's service; but I hardly thought that you could be so much changed. You have grown a great deal, and are now much taller than Ramdass's sons." The worthy farmer and Anundee were also delighted to see him. "How long are you going to stay?" the former asked. "Only till tomorrow, at daybreak.
I am not a man to talk of other people's affairs and, as to Anundee, you can trust her with your life." "Well, in the first place, I deceived you; or rather you deceived yourself, when you said, 'I see that you have been married; but the children were here, and so I could not explain. The infant is not mine.
