Fclothes, the muhtar with his broom, the awarcht (or cook), the bahrer,

ROM left to right, the servants are the ayah, the dhobi with his bundle of

also the khidmatghar, or table-servant, with a tray, the mali, also the chaukidar or watchman, and the paniwallah, or water-carrier, with his waterpots, otherwise called bihisti. The three saises are by the carriage. The brown horse is called "Rajah the King." The munshi who teaches me Hindi is on the steps above the horse's head. I am in black, and Miss Pinniger in a light dress. Immediately below me is my Bible-woman, Margaret. Sarah, who helped me last year, and who lives in this compound, sits lowest of all; the others are the other teachers. Lydia, who helped me for a few months twice a week last year, sits beside Margaret, just below Miss Pinniger. So much for the people. Now for the house.

The piece of thatched roof at the end belongs to a covered verandah where I used to make nearly all my medicines last year. The first door is the godam or store-room. The second, behind the munshi, opens on to the staircase, and the window to the left is also a staircase window. The door behind us is the drawing-room hall door.
