He had, for his own amusement, taught her Hindostanee; he had given her some insight into the principles of mechanics, and he had roused in her some taste for the writings of the Mystics. But for all that regarded the dignity of her humanity and her womanhood, if she had had no teaching but what he gave her, her mind would have been merely "an unweeded garden that grows to seed."
My arrangement for traversing these scrubs was as follows: Saleh on his riding gelding, the most lion-hearted creature in the whole mob, although Saleh was always beating or swearing at him in Hindostanee, led the whole caravan, which was divided into three separate lots; at every sixth there was a break, and one of the party rode ahead of the next six, and so on.
How long it had been searching me through and through, and over and over, I cannot tell: so keen was it, and yet so cold, I felt for the moment superstitious as if I were sitting in the room with something uncanny. "Jane, what are you doing?" "Learning German." "I want you to give up German and learn Hindostanee." "You are not in earnest?"
Charlie took this off, and found beneath it a piece of paper, on which was written in Hindostanee: "If you have a bar loosed, pull the string and haul up a rope. If not, throw the arrow down. I will come again, tomorrow night." Tim had by this time joined Charlie, and they speedily began to pull in the string. Presently a thicker string came up into their hands.
To Dodd, heavy with responsibility, and a dark misgiving he must not communicate, came delicately, and by degrees, and with a semigenuflexion every three steps, one like a magpie; and, putting his hands together, as our children do to approach the Almighty, delivered himself thus, in modulated tones, and good Hindostanee.
The provision which I design for the voyage is Richardson, Voltaire's works, Gibbon, Sismondi's History of the French, Davila, the Orlando in Italian, Don Quixote in Spanish, Homer in Greek, Horace in Latin. I must also have some books of jurisprudence, and some to initiate me in Persian and Hindostanee. Shall I buy "Dunallan" for you?
If one could only learn that delightful Hindostanee, so that one could converse with one's dear Hastings Clive! Do tell me what he said. The Hon. Wellesley Gough, of the Company's Bad Bargains. Literally interpreted, my dearest Maud, our darling Hastings Clive sweetly remarked, "I say, you pig, why in thunder don't you fetch my goat into the parlor?" The Hon. Mrs. Wellesley Gough, of the Hon. Mr.
"Soono, you sooa, loom kis-wasti omara bukri not bring?" says Hastings Clive, whose English is apt to figure among his Hindostanee like Brahmins in a regiment of Sepoys, that is, one Brahmin to every twenty low-caste fellows. The Hon. Mrs. Wellesley Gough. Wellesley dear, do listen to that darling Hastings Clive, how sweetly he prattles! What did he say then?
The process took some time, but as usual he found some work for himself, and prepared for his future life by taking lessons in Persian and Hindostanee. Now there is no better way of learning a language than to teach it to somebody else, and on the voyage out to Calcutta, which then took four months, some of the officers on board ship begged him to form a class in these two languages.
But I cannot go on with the tale without I could speak a little Hindostanee a small seasoning of curry-powder. Ferguson will do it if I can screw it out of him. August 26. Encore review. Walked from twelve till three, then drove to Mertoun with Lockhart and Allan. Dined en famille, and home by half-past ten. August 27. Sent off proofs in morning, revised in afternoon. Walked from one till four.
