Our friend the Brahmin started with us for the bridge of boats, over the river Jamna, which was close to the fort. We were stopped by many gangs of sepoys, but our friend saw us through them. On arrival at the bridge I gave him all the money I had, which was about Rs. 60 (6). We parted with many protestations of loyalty from him, he made a low obeisance to my father, who shouted to him in an angry voice, " Jow " (go). Needless to say we never again met the Brahmin. We entered the fort at 52 A T...IGHT CORNER IN THE FORT sunset. Then I was confronted with further difficulties, for how to obtain decent quarters for my parents in such a crowd was very perplexing. The palanquins were put down in a corner, and my father got out to stretch his legs, as he said. After explaining to my parents what I was going to seek for, I left them, and in about half an hour I succeeded in finding a room, in a large marble square, a corner of which was occupied by the Lieutenant-Governor, Mr. Col- vin. I took my parents to the room, and both before, and after, had many a squabble with people trying to secure rooms for themselves.
