Chapter IX
Next day there was no Muhammad Din at the head of the carriage-drive, and no '_Talaam, Tahib_' to welcome my return. I had grown accustomed to the greeting, and its omission troubled me. Next day Imam Din told me that the child was suffering slightly from fever and needed quinine. He got the medicine, and an English Doctor. 'They have no stamina, these brats,' said the Doctor, as he left Imam Din's quarters.
