The Ranee was unkind and inconsiderate.
But the Ranee had a beautiful face.
And the Rajah had a bountiful fortune.
So when he had sought her hand in marriage, she had readily consented.
And the Rajah of Jurma deemed himself blessed.
In the morning she would walk with him.
And he would smile with satisfaction.
In the afternoon she would talk with him.
And he would laugh with happiness.
In the evening she would lie in his arms.
