And plainly perceived that he swore, 1 ' Dhotied. ' — This is not a misprint for ' doted. ' A dhoti is a garment worn by all Hindus, and it is the favourite, and often the only, wear of the jjoorer classes. 56 THE ROAD TO PEPITYAPORE In a fret and a fume at the wherefore and why Of her lagging so late by the tamarind high On the road to Pepityapore. Next evening again, when cutcherry was done, I followed, nor called for my dog or my gun, The path of the evening before ; But vainly I watched til...l the stars lit the sky. She came not again to the tamarind high. On the road to Pepityapore. It was long years ago ; what her lot may now be I know not, nor ever shall know — as for me, I 'm tied to a wife — she 's a bore ; And I 've never told her, and I don't mean to try, Of the damsel I met by the tamarind high, On the road to Pepityapore. 57 THE ROAD TO PEPITYAPORE But often in camp when the day's work is sped. As I sit by my fire with the stars overhead, Old memories pondering o'er, I think of the lass with the dark beaming eye, And swear to hold dear till I drivel or die That sweetest of hours by the tamarind high, On the road to Pepityapore.
