They took me to his palace, where I found him seated in the same hall where I had spoken to him the day before. As I came in I observed that the ambassador's property was lying there. I made the usual obeisances to the secretary (wazīr). Then, with a pleasant look on his face, he asked me if I identified the two thieves, pointing with his hand to one corner of the hall. Noticing this, I turned my face that way and saw the two English impostors, loaded with iron, fetters on their feet and shackles on their necks, and very much ashamed, being afraid they would be decapitated. Turning again to the secretary, I craved leave to speak to them, and going near to them, I said: 'It would have been more honest to let me have the little that was mine, but then you wanted to acquire more than was yours; you suffer through your excess of greed, and in your desire to embrace all, you are left with nothing. You laughed, you scoffed, and had no tenderness for me, and now I sorrow for love of you, and feel compassion for the miserable condition in which I see you. You may make certain that I shall not fail to deal towards you with more charity and consideration than you showed to me on the road from Hodal.' - [Previous: 47.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.47.2.3) - [Next: 47.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.47.2.5) - [Up: 47.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.47.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.47.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.47.2.4) · Pramāṇa
