I put no-one in possession of my scheme. Why not? Because it was impossible for me to mention such a scheme to my mother, and also because it was with other expectations that the few of all ranks who had been my companions in exile and privation, had cut themselves off with me and with me suffered change of fortune. To speak to them also of such a scheme would be no pleasure. The Khwāja, having laid my plan before Shāh Begīm and The Khān, understood them to consent to it but, later, it occurred to them that I might be asking leave a second time,\[615\] because of not receiving kindness. That touching their reputation, they delayed a little to give the leave. (\_b. The Younger Khān comes to Tāshkīnt.\_) At this crisis a man came from the Younger Khān to say that he was actually on his way. This brought my scheme to naught. When a second man announced his near approach, we all went out to give him honourable meeting, Shāh Begīm and his younger sisters, Sulṯān-nigār Khānīm and Daulat-sulṯān Khānīm, and I and Sl. Muḥ. Khānika and Khān Mīrzā (Wais). - [Previous: 908.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.1.2) - [Next: 908.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.1.4) - [Up: 908.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.1.3) · Pramāṇa
