The girl did so, and lowering the curtain the Rant stood before the door and said to bim: - "Take 5,000 rupees from me and post66 500 warriors suitably clothed and armed under mypalace."
He put the bags of money on coolies' heads and took it home, and then abont midnight got the men together, giving some one rupee and others two a-piece, dressed them up and posted them under the Rani's palace. Then said Rai Hasni: -

If you command it, we will get our guns into position."
But he said: “No, my daughter-in-law is only young, and has not much sense. Everybody will say that I acted most unwisely, and that I put my batteries in position against my daughter-inlaw. She will come to her senses of her own accord."
