"This is another mistake of yours. You imagine that what you do is hidden, that no one can know anything about it; but it is known all over the place." "I have no desire to hide anything," said Debendra. "It reflects no credit upon you. So long as you show the least shame we have some hope of you. If you had any shame left, would you expose yourself in the village as a Boisnavi?"
He had been very studious, and was by nature steady and truth-loving. But that marriage had been fatal to him. When Debendra came to years of discretion he perceived that on account of his wife's disposition there was no hope of domestic happiness for him.
The sight of you makes me happy, and on that account I wished you to stay. I could not forbid you; but I am a woman. If I were too weak to forbid you, ought you to have sat down? You are very wicked; you entered my house in order to destroy me. Now leave the place!" Debendra, taking another draught of brandy, said: "Well done, Hira! you have made a capital speech.
If I had good food, dressed well, took my ease like a fine lady in a picture, I could be the same. So simple a creature as Kunda can never understand the merits of Debendra Babu. If there were no mud there would be no lotus, and Kunda is the only woman who can excite love in Debendra Babu. Every one to their destiny! But why am I angry? Why should I trouble myself?
Debendra Babu became ashen pale, but he soon regained self-possession. Turning on Abdullah he shouted: "How dare you say that I gave you any such orders?" "Babu," whined Abdullah, "I never said so. The Darogaji is mistaken." The Sub-Inspector perceived that, all the witnesses being tenants of Debendra Babu, there was no hope of getting them to stick to any statement inculpating him.
As the spider spreads his net for the fly, so Debendra spread his net for Hira. In the hope of obtaining her desire, Hira easily fell into the snare. Intoxicated with Debendra's sweet words, she was imposed upon by his crafty speech. She thought, "Surely this is love! Debendra loves me." Hira was cunning, but now her cunning did not serve her.
Then Debendra began such pleasant jesting, mingled with loving speeches, and adorned his conversation with such ambiguous phrases, that Hira, entranced, thought, "This is heavenly joy!" Never had she heard such words. If her senses had not been bewildered she would have thought, "This is hell." Debendra had never known real love; but he was very learned in the love language of the old poets.
In order to save himself from exposure and shame, Debendra Babu got Abdullah to administer powerful drugs to the woman. After taking these she was attacked by violent pains in the abdomen and vomiting, which ended in her death. You know, sir, that no one would dare to touch a corpse without their permission, if there is any suspicion of foul play."
I suppose that was because you found me so much overcome; but you can tell me now." "Kunda Nandini did not send me to say anything." "Then why did you come?" replied Debendra. "I only came to see you." Debendra laughed. "You are very intelligent. Nagendra Babu is fortunate in possessing such a servant. I thought the talk about Kunda Nandini was a mere pretence.
Full of love for his friend, he urged: "Then for my sake give it up." Tears came into the eyes of Debendra as he said: "No one but yourself urges me to walk in virtuous paths. If I ever do give it up it will be for your sake, and " "And what?" "If ever I hear that my wife is dead I will give up drink. Otherwise, whether I live or die, I care not."
