His reputation was decidedly at stake; and dangerous intrigue was in the air, or else the priest would never be coming to visit him. Sita Ram kept peeping at him through the knot-hole, as a cook peers at a tit-bit in the oven, to judge whether it is properly cooked yet. Jinendra's priest had had time for reflection.
Here is a water-carrier, whose terra-cotta water-jars are slung from a bamboo carried on his shoulder, another man bears on his head a tray upon which a charcoal fire is cooking a strong-smelling "tit-bit" some hungry labourer will presently enjoy.
