"I have been taught to regard Scindia as an enemy to the public peace, and shall use all diligence in carrying out your excellency's orders." And, leaving the minister, Harry went to Sufder and told him what had happened. "In truth, Puntojee, you were born under a lucky star. I never dreamt that Nana Furnuwees would have thus introduced you to the Peishwa.
"Having the confidence of the Peishwa, you may soon obtain military rank, as well as civil and, if war breaks out, may hold a position vastly better than you could hope to attain to as the mere chief of a troop." "It seems very ridiculous, Sufder, that I should be thus put forward, without any merit of my own; while you, who have fought in many battles, are still only commander of your troop."
"And now, Soyera," Ramdass said, when he returned from his work in the evening, "tell us more about yourself. First, how did you learn where I was living?" "I learned it from the wife of our cousin Sufder." "How did you fall in with him?" "Well, I must tell you something. I had meant to keep it entirely to myself, but I know that you and Anundee will keep my secret." "Assuredly we will.

As soon as his uniform was ready, Harry went to his regiment which was encamped on the maidan, between the fort and the native town and was introduced to the colonel. "I have come to report myself, sir," he said to the colonel. "My name is Lindsay."
"Certainly I have, but these are natives, and necessarily can only send me the rumours current in the bazaars, or known generally to the public; and their news is, for the most part, worthless." "I have another favour to request," Harry said; "namely, that you will give leave of absence to Sufder, in order that he may accompany me to Bombay.
