This little room is also on the third or fourth floor, but is in an entirely different part of the great castle. Her dress consists of the one sin- gle coarse garment peculiar to the high -caste Hindu widow, only partly concealing her person. Leading from this room, which is occupied by Mrs. Luchman Dass alone, there are several other small dark rooms, each of which is filled from the floor to the ceiling with pure gold and silver coin. The doors leading to these rooms are like great barn doors..., and are all fastened at the top with great brass padlocks to which Mrs. Luchman Dass herself carries the keys. Also underneath this great castle trenches have been made in which great iron tubes full of solid gold and silver coin are buried. This was done by the Dewan's father. 146 WITHIN THE PURDAH The Dewan on one occasion took me over to pay his mother a professional visit. She was, at this time, a woman of sixty-five or seventy years of age, a bigoted high-caste Hindu. At the time of her husband's death she fain would have burned herself on his funeral pyre, but the English law prohibited all such acts of self-destruction.
