I shall, of course, tell them your story; and they will likely request you to go, at once, to see them; therefore, do not leave the hotel until you hear from me." Sufder had not previously visited Bombay, and the next morning early he went out, with Soyera as his guide, to inspect the European part of the town.
"Yes, yes," Sufder said; "that is all very well, but the serious side of the matter is that, just as everything seemed settled, we may be entering upon another civil war, more terrible than the last. Of course, I am sorry for the young Peishwa; but I doubt whether he was in any way fit to rule over the Mahrattas.
The party, which was composed of men from several towns and villages, broke up the next morning. "Have you money?" Sufder asked her, as she was about to start alone on her journey. "Yes; my savings were all lodged for me, by Major Lindsay, with some merchants at Bombay; but I have twenty rupees sewn up in my garments."
Sufder laid about him stoutly and, his men seconding him well, half their opponents were speedily struck to the ground; and the rest, turning their horses, fled at full speed. Sufder's men would have followed, but he shouted to them to draw rein. "Enough has been done, and well done," he said.
The men were all ready, as Nana had sent an order to Sufder to prepare instantly for a journey. "So it is you, Puntojee!" the captain said, as he rode up; "the orderly did not tell me whom I was to escort, nor our destination. In which direction do we ride?" "I am bearer of a letter to Purseram Bhow."
He received his master with the greatest joy, for he had feared he would be captured before leaving the camp. They continued their journey to Jooneer, where they halted for the night. Sufder went to his house, and Harry rode out to the farm. As Harry drew rein at the farm Soyera ran out, followed by her brother and Anundee, with cries of joy at his unexpected return.
You will see that, before long, he will be back again, and reinstated in power. "At any rate, I will accompany him. After that thrashing we gave Balloba's horsemen, my head would not be safe here an hour, after his arrival." On the road, Harry had informed him of the decision at which he had arrived, upon Soyera's advice; and Sufder agreed that it would certainly be a wise step.
He calculated that Wasil would have at least half an hour's start of him; and that, as he would urge the pony to the top of his speed, he would by this time have joined Sufder; and he was sure that the latter would not lose an instant before starting to meet him.
Of course you can remain here if you prefer it, but it seems to me that the other would be the better plan." "I should certainly prefer to go with Sufder to my home," Soyera said. "I have numbers of acquaintances here, but no real friends; and Ramdass and Anundee will, I know, joyfully receive me." "At any rate, you shall be no burden to them, Soyera.
He loosed his hold, and stood back and gazed at her. "Why, Soyera," he exclaimed, "is it you? It is more than ten years since I saw you! "It is my cousin," he said to some of his companions who were standing round, "my mother's sister's child." "Don't be alarmed," he went on, to the woman, "no one will harm you. I am one of the captains of this party." "I must speak to you alone, Sufder."
