[Hira Singh by Talbot Mundy]@TWC D-Link book
Hira Singh

CHAPTER VI
4/71

He hated me, being jealous.

He hated Ranjoor Singh, because of merited rebuke and punishment.

He was all for himself, and if one said one thing, he must say another, lest the first man get too much credit.

Furthermore, he was a BADMASH, [Footnote: Low ruffian.] born of a money-lender's niece to a man mean enough to marry such.

Other true charges I could lay against him, but my tale is of Ranjoor Singh and why should I sully it with mean accounts; Gooja Singh must trespass in among it, but let that be all.
Third of us daffadars in order of seniority was Anim Singh, a big man, born in the village next my father's.
