Hardly had I reached the presence of Muhammad Ibrahim, when one of Shah 'Alam's spies also turned up. He delivered letters to the general, and informed him in private that I was much valued by Shah 'Alam, who would take it very ill should he assist a person that the prince had sent after several times, and had put sentries over to prevent his escape. The spy left, and also the other persons present, and I was alone with Muhammad Ibrahim. He already regretted having helped me in my flight, and as he had been planning to desert to the prince's side, he feared being badly treated by His Highness. This was why, after having congratulated me on my escape, he prayed me to remain with him a few days; he said he felt unwell, and wanted to purge himself. I quite understood the design of Muhammad Ibrahim; he meant to make me over once more to Shah 'Alam. Placing my hand on my dagger, I said to him that if he did not give me leave to go on to Gulkandah, I should without fail rip open my bowels in his presence, and would rather die than go back to the service of the prince, Shah 'Alam. - [Previous: 187.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.187.3) - [Next: 187.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.187.5) - [Up: 187](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.187) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.187.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.187.4) · Pramāṇa
