The man walked on about ten paces, in the same manner as he had previously done; all of a sudden he turned, and taking the bridle of the burra gently in his hand, stopped her.

"For what destination was the tikkut?" "Peshawur!" said Ismail, filling his mouth with the word as if he loved it. "Yet" it was King who spoke now, pointing an accusing finger at him "a burra sahib sends a tar to me this is it! to say she is in Delhi still! Who told thee to answer those questions with those words?" "She!" the big man answered. "Yasmini?" "Aye! May Allah cover her with blessings!"
As a matter of fact, apart from some rubbish, he brings one letter for me; none for any of the others. Not even a file of newspapers; not even a newspaper!

"Burra suar!" it raged; then hailed imperiously, "Ko hai?" Where the lanterns clustered brightest, an active little figure in white waved a helmet, crying, "On deck! Where the devil does Maurice Heywood live?" "I'm up here," called that young man. For reply, the stranger began to skip among his cohorts, jerking out his white legs like a dancing marionette.
In 1845 Burra Burra was a lonely moor; in 1850 it was bustling with men, and noisy with the sounds of engines, pumps and forges. Acres of land were covered with the company's warehouses and offices, and the handsome residences of its officers; behind these there rose great mounds of blue, green, and dark-red ores of copper, worth enormous sums of money.
"No, Sahib; but he does not come on deck till the work is all finished. Even the Burra Malum of the Nerbudda said once at Tuticorin " "Bah! Go! I am busy."

The Bishop's entrance into the sacred city of Benares he describes to his wife thus: "I will endeavour to give you an account of the concert, vocal and instrumental, which saluted us as we entered the town: "First beggar. Agha Sahib! Judge Sahib, Burra Sahib, give me some pice; I am a fakir; I am a priest; I am dying of hunger! "Bearers trotting under the tonjon. Ugh! ugh! Ugh! ugh! "Musicians.
