They set out immediately, leaving all their armed followers in their camps, and taking only a few personal attendants and palankeen bearers.

No person is permitted to take arms into the Nazim's tent; nor does any landholder or merchant of Oude enter his tent without the pledges for personal security above mentioned.

Ramdut Pandee and the Rajah entered with only a few personal servants, leaving all their other attendants outside the outer curtain.

This curtain surrounded the tent at a distance of only a few yards from it, and the tent was pitched in the centre.

They were received with all due ceremony, and in the same friendly manner as usual.
