He had been in this position for about three hours it was the very position in which I had caused Bobbachy Bahawder to be placed an attitude uncomfortable, it is true, but one which renders escape impossible, unless treason aid the prisoner.
"Bobbachy," said he, "thou, too, must pardon me. A propos, I have news for thee. "My WIFE, my lord!" said I, aghast. "Our daughter, the light of thine eyes! Go, my son; I see thou art wild with joy. The Princess's tents are set up close by mine, and I know thou longest to join her." My wife? Here was a complication truly!
"It was, then, the famous Bobbachy Bahawder whom I overcame just now! and he is the man destined to stand in my slippers, is he?" and I was at that very moment standing in his own! Such are the chances and changes that fall to the lot of the soldier!
Bobbachy Bahawder has seen the dreadful Feringhee, Gahagan Khan Gujputi, the elephant-lord, whose sword reaps the harvest of death; there is but one champion who can wear the papooshes of the elephant-slayer it is Bobbachy Bahawder!" "You speak truly, Puneeree Muckun, the Bahawder ruminates on the words of the unbeliever: he is an ostrich, and hatches the eggs of his thoughts."
