The little lord of the house, as Pir Khan called him, grew sorrowful and complained of pains who had never known the meaning of pain. Ameera, wild with terror, watched him through the night, and in the dawning of the second day the life was shaken out of him by fever the seasonal autumn fever.
"See, Hidayetullah," said the blind faquir "when next he comes, say then to me, 'May I bring thee tobacco, Pir Saheb, if he be sitting near, but say 'May I bring thee tobacco, Moulvie Saheb, if he be sitting afar off. If this, speak to him across the room that I may hear his voice in answer, and call him by his name, Abdulali Habbibullah.
Bernier kept his eyes open, and left not only a good account of the manners and life of the Great Mogul and his court, but a fair itinerary. His description of Srinagar and its vicinity still holds good, and modern books point us to the pass of the Pir Panjal so disastrous to the imperial ladies.
I do not know exactly what the offence was with which the Pir was charged. I do not know whether the words attributed to him were ever spoken by him. But I do know that the Pirsaheb declined to offer any defence and with perfect resignation he has accepted his penalty.
Hamilton listened in perfect silence. The man's face was lined with grief, the tears rolled in streams down his livid cheeks. A wail went up from the other servants at his words.

Soon we all slept except the helmsman, who kept the ship in the mid-stream of Yann.
On account of his fatness he cannot yet kneel long, but falls over sideways. He has also a small idol of his own above his bed which represents a certain saint called Pir. He rides upon the ass and says he will become a trooper. I take delight in his presence and his conversation. The children in this country are learned from their very birth.
Hamilton turned to his servant with a pleased smile on his handsome, animated face. "You are an artist, Pir Bakhs, and a sort of magician, to do all this in twelve hours." Pir Bakhs bowed and salaamed by the door, his well-formed polished face wreathed in many smiles.
The camels shall not gall, the sons shall not fall sick, and the wives shall remain faithful while they are away, of the men who give me place in their caravan. Who will assist me to slipper the King of the Roos with a golden slipper with a silver heel? The protection of Pir Kahn be upon his labors! He spread out the skirts of his gaberdine and pirouetted between the lines of tethered horses.
