*“Tell me who are you, carried on a bamboo bier to the funeral ground? Some of your fellows bear you on their shoulders, and while others follow with faggots for the pyre. Your little child is calling for his father. Why so unkind that you have no word for him to-day. Did you not, with the sweat of your brow, earn gold mohurs and rupees, wandering from Delhi to Lahore and thence to Dacca, for the purpose? You strove to heap up wealth. You would not spend for your own comfort a four anna-bit or even a pice. Tell me, brother, how much of this hard-earned money are you carrying with you now?”
