"If nothing comes of this search for your husband, I hope you will take up your residence, permanently, at Tripataly.

You have nothing to go back to England for, and Dick, with his knowledge of both languages, should be able to find good employment in the Company's service." "Thank you greatly, brother.

If, as you say, my quest should come to nothing, I would gladly settle down in my old home.

Dick's inclinations, at present, turn to the sea, but I have no doubt that what you say is true, and that there may be far more advantageous openings for him out here.

However, that is a matter for us to talk over, in the future." The Rajah stayed four days at Madras.
