The messenger came back; he was looking ghastly pale: he whispered some information into my ear, which instantly caused me to hasten to the apartments where I had caused Bobbachy Bahawder to be confined.
And the whole party set off at a brisk trot, I keeping silence, and thinking with no little trepidation of what I was about to encounter. "The lips of the Bahawder are closed," said one. "Where are those birds of Paradise, his long-tailed words? they are imprisoned between the golden bars of his teeth!" "Kush," said his companion, "be quiet!
Bobbachy Bahawder rode behind me, restored to his rank and state; troops of cavalry hemmed us in on all sides; my ass was conducted by the common executioner: a crier went forward, shouting out, "Make way for the destroyer of the faithful he goes to bear the punishment of his crimes."
Were I not in your august presence, O star of the faithful, I would crop Loll Mahommed's nose from his face, and wear his ears as an ornament in my own pugree! Who is there here that knows not the difference between yonder yellow-skinned coward and Gahagan Khan Guj I mean Bobbachy Bahawder?
And the whole party set off at a brisk trot, I keeping silence, and thinking with no little trepidation of what I was about to encounter. "The lips of the Bahawder are closed," said one. "Where are those birds of Paradise, his long-tailed words? they are imprisoned between the golden bars of his teeth!" "Kush," said his companion, "be quiet!
Thus it was that the escape took place: My own fellow of the Irregulars, whom I had summoned to dress me, performed the operation to my satisfaction, invested me with the elegant uniform of my corps, and removed the Pitan's disguise, which I had taken from the back of the prostrate Bobbachy Bahawder. What did the rogue do next?
He had been in this position for about three hours it was the very position in which I had caused Bobbachy Bahawder to be placed an attitude uncomfortable, it is true, but one which renders escape impossible, unless treason aid the prisoner.
It will be as well to give a slight account of the causes of a war which was speedily to rage through some of the fairest portions of the Indian continent. Chowder Loll Masolgee, Zubberdust Khan, Dowsunt Row Scindiah, and the celebrated Bobbachy Jung Bahawder, had held for a time complete mastery in Delhi.
"It is well that the Bobbachy has returned," snuffled out the poor Grand Vizier, after I had explained to the Council the extraordinary means of defence possessed by the garrison. "Your star is bright, O Bahawder! for this very night we had resolved upon an escalade of the fort, and we had sworn to put every one of the infidel garrison to the edge of the sword."
Listen, madam : you know this dress and these arms; they are the arms of your husband, Bobbachy Bahawder MY PRISONER. He now lies in yonder fort, and if I do not return before daylight, at SUNRISE HE DIES: and then, when they send his corpse back to Holkar, what will you, HIS WIDOW, do?" "Oh!" said she, shuddering, "spare me, spare me!" "I'll tell you what you will do.
