"Here they are," said I; "now be quick—by your soul be quick!"
"I will be back instantly," said he; and he disappeared inside his house, but returned almost immediately with the cushions and curtains of his cart.
"There," said he, as he completed his preparations and jumped on the pole, where was his driving-seat, "you see I have not been long. Now whither shall I drive? to the city?"
"No," said I; "to Hussain Shah Wullee's Durgah. Do you precede, and we will follow you, for I know not the road."
"I know it well," said he; "follow me closely."
"Does it lead through the Begum Bazar or the Karwan?" I asked.
"Through both, or either, just as you please."
"And is there no other way?"
"There is, but it is somewhat longer. We must go by the English residence and turn up towards the Gosha Mahal; the road will lead us far behind both the Karwan and Begum Bazar."
