Excerpt from Tales of the Zenana, Vol. 2 of 2: Or a Nuwab's Leisure Hours The negotiation of marriage between the son of Saruk and the daughter of Hurrees-Al-Alghar had indeed taken place, so that there seemed but little chance of success for poor Ashuk, who with a heavy heart proceeded to his uncle at Cambay. Young Ajeez, in the meantime, was studying hard all the tricks practised in mercantile pursuits, under his able and experienced father, to qualify himself for the situation of supercargo of the ship, which in a year or two was to be richly freighted by Saruk, and probably by Nugdee Hurrees, whom they much wished to persuade to risk a large sum of money. This was the speculation he was pondering upon when the unhappy widow applied to him for the loan of one hundred rupees. But, to the disappointment of Saruk, the old miser was not inclined so highly to appreciate piece-goods and cornelians as his neighbours, and finally refused to risk any part of his capital in the concern.
