On the 6th the elephants were paraded and accepted with great satisfaction, and the Emperor's wives, having taken a fancy to the European carriage, oxen were yoked on it, and it was sent to them with all its appurtenances. This gift gave rise to quarrels, but it was at last assigned by Bahadur Shah to his principal wife, Mihr-Parwar. The lady was so pleased with this new toy that she harnessed her eunuchs to it and made them draw her every day round the enclosure formed by the kanats or screens. She conferred robes of honour on the envoy and his assistants by way of thanks for the gift.
