And so you may see a man whom you knew with his turban cocked on one side, and nearly as unapproachable as his master, now running about with a torn coat and a pinched face; for it is rarely that such men can obtain similar employment from other masters, and they go about like pictures of death in life, as I have known many of them to do. - [Previous: 12.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.pelsaert~en-moreland.12.2.1) - [Next: 12.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.pelsaert~en-moreland.12.2.3) - [Up: 12.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.pelsaert~en-moreland.12.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.pelsaert~en-moreland.12.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.pelsaert~en-moreland.12.2.2) · Pramāṇa
