19.19.8

By good luck it happened that I recollected my being acquainted with the Physician, Gholam-aaly-qhan. As this gentleman, who had acquired the Governor's good will and confidence, by curing him of a distemper, was greatly attached to me, I availed myself of this particular, to write him a short note, in which I requested his interest in obtaining Ram-narain's leave for my residing at Azim-abad. By the return of the messenger, I received the permission I had requested, upon which I repaired to the city with my brother, Seyd-aaly-qhan. But this permission did not please Radja Mvrly-dur, no more than some Mussulman friends of his; they took umbrage at it. Luckily for me, that a few days after, I went to see Mr. Amiatt, Chief of the English factory at Azim-abad, and also Doctor Fullerton, the physician appointed by the council, to its service; and as I had an acquaintance with these gentlemen, but especially with the latter, I could not help telling them my story. Both those gentlemen joined in giving me assurances that I might stay in all safety; nay, the Doctor offered me his own bungalow for my accommodation; so that on seeing myself so strongly supported, I took again to my ancient abode, as I had a good house of my own at Azim-abad.
