In Dihli there was an English renegade named Joao Witt (? John White), who had married a Mahomedan woman. She was addicted to vicious practices. As the Englishman suspected his wife, he decided to reform matters in the house. When she saw this, she disappeared, taking with her the best of their belongings. The young man at this result was very sorrowful and anxious; he made every effort to discover her retreat. In the end he came to know that she was in the house of some people whom she declared to be her relations. On obtaining this information he sent a message, not daring to go himself for fear of a beating. He told her that she might return without any hesitation. She did not respond to the young man's overtures, but sent him many menaces and much abuse. The man persevered with all possible diligence, in the hope of winning her over. In the end the wife made the concession that she would return home, the condition imposed being that he should come to see her where she was, and, falling at her feet in the presence of everybody, beg her pardon. He was to state as his excuse that his suspicions arose from his having been drunk, and that long ago he had withdrawn them. - [Previous: 266.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.1.5) - [Next: 266.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.1.7) - [Up: 266.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.1.6) · Pramāṇa
