The woman passed into ^77?^ V BITS FROM THE ORIENT. 69 the market a few steps in advance of us, and we whis- pered to our friend : " Keep an eye on the woman, she is up to mischief." Our friend was then all attention to hear and see everything that passed between the woman and those with whom she had to do. We did not understand the language well enough to follow a conversation. The woman talked a long time, and only purchased a little sugar, for which she paid one rupee. Then she stepped outsi...de and held a low conversation with the driver, while we watched every move. She came and told us that she wanted to go over to the other side of the city to a small market, where she could get rice and barley at greatly reduced rates. We knew that the business of purchasing the grain had been put into her hands, and that we had no right to interfere. She had talked so long at this market that the afternoon was waning. We saw the cupidity of this move. It was nearing the time for the after- noon express and passenger to Delhi, and she thought to get the money into the hands of one of the thieves and get off on this train.
