After some little time the two friends met again, and the rajah made a complaint. He said that the spies had not demonstrated their ability. Then that spy, who was standing by clad as a soldier and armed, said: 'I am the man to whom your wife gave to eat,' and told the whole of what had passed. The rajah was in astonishment, praying them another time not to play him such tricks. I might recount many similar cases; but as it seems to me, you may discover from this instance the finesse of the Indian people, and how they are able to pretend. That rebel was lord over eight thousand very active cavalry, who were great plunderers. There comes to my memory now an affair that happened in Hindustan.
