It's odd, but I recollect that title. You were at Udaipur during the plague." Warrington brightened. "So that's got about? I happened to be there, working on the prince's railway." "I will send the cable at once. You will doubtless hear from New York in the morning. But you must not see Miss Chetwood again." "You will let me bid her good-by? I admire and respect her more than any other woman.
De Boigne, almost worn out himself, allowed his victorious troops no time to cool, but marched on Jodhpur, and arrived at Kuarpur in the vicinity of the capital on the 18th of November. But his presence was enough. The Rajas of Udaipur and Jodhpur hastened to offer their submission to the chief who combined the prestige of the house of Timur with the glamour of the fire-eating Feringhee.
Then, with our catch, about 15 lbs. weight of most excellent fish, we rowed back past the white city to the landing-place, and, in the gathering dark, climbed the hillock upon which stood our host's bungalow. We spent a week at Udaipur a happy week, whose short days flew by far too quickly.
Following various wars in Middle India, the former Muslim kingdom had been divided into fiefs some being awarded to Rajput nobles of loyalty and valour. The result was yet another style of painting comparable in certain ways to that of Bundi and Udaipur yet markedly original in its total effect.
Turning upon his adversaries, rendered careless by continued success, he smote them in the hinder part, and, in 1586, had recovered all Mewár, the fortress of Chitor and Mandalgarh excepted. Cut off from Chitor, he had established a new capital at Udaipur, a place which subsequently gave its name to his principality. When he died, in 1597, he was still holding his own.
Then, I think, Udaipur 'last, loneliest, loveliest, apart' to knock my novel into shape before I go North. And you ?" He pensively took stock of his volcanic cousin. "Sure you're safe not to erupt again?" "Safe as houses thanks to you. That doesn't mean I can be orthodox Hindu and work for the orthodox Jaipur Raj.
When the priests, aghast at the profanity, expostulated, he levied a fine of three hundred thousand rupees upon them, and when, fearing an outrage to the image these infidels call a god, they sent the idol to Udaipur, he way-laid the men who had taken it and slew them to a man." "Your knowledge of affairs is great, Chief," Barlow commented, for most of this was new to him.
One cannot help being glad that the prosaic steam-engine, crowned with foul smoke and heralded by ear-piercing whistles, has not been allowed to trespass in Udaipur, wherein no discordant note is struck by train line or factory chimney, and where everything and every one is as when the city was newly built on the final abandonment of Chitor, the ancient capital of Mewar.
And Roy had fallen a willing victim to the charms of Udaipur: her white palaces, white temples, and white landing-stages, flanked with marble elephants, embosomed in wooded hills, and reflected in the blue untroubled depths of the Pichóla Lake. Immersed in his novel, he had not known a dull or lonely hour in that enchanted backwater of Rajasthán.
Armed with rods and fishing tackle, we proceeded to see Udaipur from the lake which washes its northern side.
