He resolved to celebrate his own escape from jail by feasting the neighbours. The entire arrangements were left in the hands of the two Basus, who managed matters so admirably that every one was more than satisfied and Debendra Babu's fame was spread far and wide.
"Why do you drive me away?" said Debendra. "Go, go, else I will call some one. Why should you destroy me?" "Is this woman's nature?" asked Debendra. Hira, enraged, answered: "The nature of woman is not evil. The nature of such a man as you is very evil.
Then Debendra, as a devoted worshipper, sat down to perform the rites. Then came a troop of singers and musicians, and concluded the ceremonies with their music and songs. At length a young man of about Debendra's age, of a placid countenance, came and sat with him. This was his cousin, Surendra.
He advised an attempt to pacify Debendra Babu; which failing, he would put his scheme into execution. The two brothers, therefore, called on their enemy, and falling at his feet, implored him to say how they had offended him. "You are much better off than I am," replied Debendra Babu sarcastically; "it would be presumptuous for me to consort with such people.
Hiramani wagged her head sententiously. "Babuji, I am afraid you are in a serious scrape. The matter has gone too far to be hushed up a second time. You cannot do anything directly without increasing the suspicion which attaches to you; but I will watch events and keep you informed of all that happens at the police station. You know I have friends there." Debendra Babu was profuse in his thanks.
Then, in answer to leading questions from Gobardhan, he told the story of Siráji's death adding that he had decided to send Debendra Babu and Abdullah up for trial, but doubted whether he could adduce sufficient evidence to convict them of murder or anything like it.
After gazing at him some time, she said, "Do you not know me? I am Hira." Recognizing her, Debendra asked in astonishment, "Who has brought you to this condition?" Hira, with a glance full of rage, biting her lip and clenching her fist, approached to strike Debendra; but restraining herself she said, "Ask again who has brought me to this condition: this is your doing.
Then, falling flat on the floor, he saluted Hira, and with glass in hand began to sing in her praise. Hira had discovered during the day that Haridasi Boisnavi and Debendra Babu were one and the same person. But with what design Debendra had entered the house of the Dattas it was not so easy to discover.
"Quite true, but what I want to know is how long is this going to last?" "I am afraid that you may expect one misfortune after another; I can't quite see the end of your evil destiny." "Goodness gracious! what shall I do? Are there no means of conjuring it away?" The cunning bait was swallowed by Debendra Babu, who asked: "How much would these ceremonies cost?"
Abandoned by Debendra, as a boy throws away an unripe mango not to his taste, Hira at first suffered frightfully. It was not only that she had been cast adrift by Debendra, but that, having been degraded and wounded by him, she had sunk to so low a position among women. It was this she found so unendurable.
