"'Only a crawling kafir, sayest thou, O heathen! and straightway goest about to stick a fork into a political symbol?
"Kitmudgar, remove that scorpion from the punka, before it drops into the Sahib's plate. Hold, miscreant! who told you to kill it? "'Take it up tenderly, Lift it with care, Fashioned so slenderly, Young, and so fair!
