Mahbub was angry too.

He has sold horses all about here, and he says old lady is pukka [thorough] old lady and would not condescend to such ungentlemanly things.

I do not care.

I have got the papers, and I was very glad of moral support from Mahbub.

I tell you, I am fearful man, but, somehow or other, the more fearful I am the more dam'-tight places I get into.
