Whereupon the cock-sparrow was so distracted with grief that he picked off all his feathers until he was as bare as a ploughed field. Then, going to a pipal tree, he sat all naked and forlorn on the branches, sobbing and sighing. 'What has happened? cried the pipal tree, aghast at the sight.
There was the mystic bower, too, in an octagonal tent under a pipal tree, which gave you, by an arrangement of looking-glasses, the most unaccountable sensations for one rupee; and a signboard cried "Know Thyself!" where a physiological display lurked from the eyes of the police behind a perfectly respectable skeleton at one end of Peri Chandra's Gully.
Lamenting his bride, The cock, bald and bare, Sobs loud in despair; The pipal tree grieves By shedding its leaves; The buffalo mourns By casting her horns; The stream, weeping fast, Grows briny at last; The cuckoo with sighs Blinds one of its eyes; Bhagtu's grief so intense is, He loses his senses; The maidservant wailing Has taken to railing; The Queen, joy enhancing, Takes refuge in dancing!
"Very well, I make it two per cent. But you must hurry!" "Draw your contract. Time limit how long?" "Two weeks three weeks not more than a month at the very utmost! You draw the contract in English, and I will sign it this afternoon. You must begin to dig tomorrow at dawn!" "Where?" "In the grounds of the River Palace across the river beginning close to the great pipal trees."
Farther on she met a pipal tree, and the pipal called out, 'Oh, kind Peasie! bind up this broken branch for me, or it will die, and I shall lose it! 'Poor thing! poor thing! cried soft-hearted Peasie; and tearing a bandage from her veil, she bound up the wounded limb carefully.
Do it yourself! And when she met the pipal tree, and it asked her to tie up its broken branch, she only laughed, saying, 'It doesn't hurt me, and I should have walked three miles in the time it would take to set it right; so ask somebody else!
Beside him sat the Resident's daughter, Elizabeth Hodson, and in the seat behind was Captain Barlow. At the pipal Nana Sahib reined in the bays sharply, saying, "Hello, General, wanted to see you for a minute called at the bungalow, and your servant said you had gone down this way. What's up?" he questioned after greetings had passed between Baptiste, Barlow and Elizabeth Hodson.
"No, I cannot," said he; "this is the way to Kailása," and then climbed to the very top of the tree. Seeing there was no chance of the rogue coming down, and there being no one near to whom he could call for help, the old miser tied his horse to a neighbouring tree, and began to climb up the pípal himself.
Lamenting his bride, The cock, bald and bare, Sobs loud in despair; The pipal tree grieves By shedding its leaves; The buffalo mourns By casting her horns; The stream, weeping fast, Grows briny at last; The cuckoo with sighs Blinds one of its eyes; Bhagtu's grief so intense is, He loses his senses; The maidservant wailing Has taken to railing; The Queen, joy enhancing, Takes refuge in dancing; To aid the mirth coming, The Prince begins drumming!
By jealousy tainted, The pretty hen dyed. Lamenting his bride, The cock, bald and bare, Sobs loud in despair; The pipal tree grieves By shedding its leaves; The buffalo mourns By casting her horns; The stream, weeping fast, Grows briny at last! 'Oh dear! oh dear me! cried the cuckoo, 'how very very sad!
