_Nobin._ O Sadhu! Thou art the actual Sadhu (the honest man). Ah! you are now very sorry on learning the deadly sorrow of Khetromani; and the sooner I can take you home the better. _Sadhu._ (_Deep sigh._) My eldest Babu! Shall I see my daughter on my return. I have none other. _Bindu._ If you make her take that draught which I gave you, she must be cured by that. The Doctor heard every particular of her disease, and has given that medicine. _Enter the Deputy Inspector._ _D. Inspector._ Bindu Babu, Mr. Commissioner has written very urgently about releasing your father. _Bindu._ There is no doubt the Lieutenant-Governor will grant him release. _Nobin._ After what time can the notice of the release come? _Bindu._ It will not be more than fifteen days. _D. Inspector._ The Deputy Magistrate of Amaranagara gave an order of imprisonment for six months to a certain Mooktyar according to this law; but he had to remain for sixteen days in the gaol. _Nobin._ Shall such a time ever come, that the Governor, becoming friendly, destroy the evil desires of the unfriendly Magistrate? _Bindu._ There is a God, the Lord of the Universe; and he must do it. Sir, you had better start, for there is a long way to go. (_Exit Nobin, Bindu, and Sadhu._) _D. Inspector._ Alas! The two brothers, burnt up by these anxieties, have, as it were, become dead, while living. The order of release from the Lieutenant-Governor will be as the restoration of life to them. Babu Nobin Chunder is of a brave spirit, does good to others, is very munificent, a great improver of learning, and also of a patriotic mind; but the mist of the cruel Indigo Planters withered all his good qualities in the bud. _Enter the Pundit of the College._ Welcome, Sir! _Pundit._ My body is naturally somewhat of a warm nature. I cannot hear the sunshine. The heat of the sun makes me, as it were, mad in the months of March, April, and May. I had a very severe head-ache for a few days; and was not able to attend Bindu Madhab at all. _D. Inspector._ The Vishnu Toila (a kind of oil) can do you some good. The oil is prepared for Babu Vishnu, and to-morrow I shall send some to your house. _Pundit._ I am much obliged to you for that. A man of a healthy constitution becomes mad by teaching children; such am I. _D. Inspector._ Why don’t we see our elder Pundit any more?
