Excerpt from Tales of Indian Chivalry Rough hands would soon have stripped her not only Of jewels, but also of her rich em broidered garments, had it not been for the sudden appearance upon the scene of Abbas Khan and his following. The robbers, unable to resist such a force, fled precipitately, pursued by some twenty Of the Mogul troopers. Tulsi bai remained seated on the ground, a picture of misery, scarcely realizing that she had escaped from the perils by which she had been surrounded. Her countenance, however, soon began to brighten when her young deliverer approached. If the robbers were rakshasasl, he was surely a god. Never had she seen in human form anything so grand and beautiful as this handsome young soldier in all the glory Of his martial panoply. Nor had he ever seen anything so lovely as Tulsibai, as she sat there before him with her lustrous eyes full of tears, and with her loveliness cunningly set Off by her bridal array.
