Harry's stay with Nana was a short one as, in three days, he was again sent to Poona.

This time he was to take up his abode at a large house, occupied by two of the leaders of Bajee's party; the rajah having told him that he would request them to entertain him, if he should again come to Poona.

He was the bearer of fifty thousand rupees, principally in gold, which he was to give to them for the use of Bajee.

He had no message this time for the prince, personally, Nana having said to him: "I want you to let me know how matters are going on.

The young man may do something rash and, if Balloba's suspicions are in any way excited, he may send him to some distant fortress; which would seriously upset my plans, for I should have to retain Chimnajee in power, as representative of his brother.
"We know that he was placed on the musnud greatly in opposition to his wishes; and he certainly hailed, with pleasure, the prospect of Bajee's release.
