In the first days of his convalescence I went to see him, and found him lying on his bed, in his eyes the light of conscious- ness and intelligence, and sitting by him the wife, Raja Sarefa, He was weak, spoke slowly and in a small voice, but said that by God's grace he only wanted time to regain his strength. After expressing my thank- fulness at seeing him so well on ...the way to ■recovery, I said that I had often been over to see him when he was ill, and that the Raja Sarefa had tended, him with _ extraordinary devotion, never 174 THE KING'S WAY seeming to leave his bedside. At once he said, " You noticed that, did you ? " I repfied that I had been very much struck by her care of him. "I was blind," he said ; " I do not know what happened, but I am very glad you remarked how carefully Sarefa nursed me, and that you have mentioned it, for now you will recognise that she ought to have an allowance."
