He came in here this morning and has been behaving madly ever since." "The witless are under the protection of God," stammered a flat-cheeked Usbeg in broken Hindi. "They foretell future events."

What with hurrying through the baking heat of the fierce relentless sun from shop to shop, strengthening myself with far-reaching and enduring patience far the haggling contest with the livid-faced Hindi, summoning courage and wit to brow-beat the villainous Goanese, and match the foxy Banyan, talking volumes throughout the day, correcting estimates, making up accounts, superintending the delivery of purchased articles, measuring and weighing them, to see that everything was of full measure and weight, overseeing the white men Farquhar and Shaw, who were busy on donkey saddles, sails, tents, and boats for the Expedition, I felt, when the day was over, as though limbs and brain well deserved their rest.
And as the Caliph was struck with admiration he fetched a second chest and brought out of it a tent of brocade, crowned with pearls and jacinths and emeralds and jaspers and other precious stones; its poles were of freshly cut Hindi aloes-wood, and its skirts were set with the greenest smaragds.

Loveliness glowed around me.
Skag's education was of the kind that accumulates when a man does not know he is being educated. . . . Certainly Carlin was unattainable this was an often recurring thought as he learned Hindi from her and something of Urdu; the usages of her world, its castes and cults. Down in the unwalled city one mid-afternoon, he finished certain errands and started for the bungalow.

The Mynso people weave the small strips of cloth worn by the men to serve the purpose of the Assamese lengti or Hindi languti. The dark blue or black dye is obtained from the leaf of a plant called u sybu, which Mr. Rita has classified as strobilanthus hoeditolius, which grows in the gardens round the homesteads.
