The truth of this was not doubted, for he was well known to be a most depraved wretch : still nothing could jus- tify so inhuman a retribution. The wounded man lingered for a day, and his murderer passed into Chap. X.] COURAGEOUS FEMALE.
247 eternity a few hours after him, having been cut in two pieces, one of which was gibbeted at the Grate of the Bala Hissar, the other in the great Bazar. A butcher was the executioner. The lady, whose guilt was at least equal, escaped without punishment; for ...the Mahomedan can only shed the blood of him by whom man's blood has been shed. There are, how- ever, women in these countries who have pre-emi- nently distinguished themselves by their conjugal devotion ; and I should do wrong were I to pass over in silence Aga, the lady of Yezdan Bukhsh, a Huzara chief, whom Dost Mahomed Khan de- tained at Cabool as a hostage for her lord. The separation was painful to both ; but particularly to the husband, who was accustomed, in all his diffi- culties, to be guided by the counsel of his wife; and he secretly sent messengers to her, urging her to make her escape.
