1918

We hear the gossip of the cook the whispered confidences of the waiting-women and all the wrangle of the camp. [...] The period of Tara was that of the middle of the seventeenth century when the Mahomedans of the Deccan weakened by their struggle with the Moguls of Delhi had become exposed to the attack of the Mahrattas. [...] The outcome of the discovery of the plot leads to the excution of Jehandur Beg the enemy of Fazil and his father ; to the king's public exposure of treason and to the declartion of war upon Sivaji whose daring spy Maloosray had been busy in the city and whose attempt to foster the Mogul power in order to make himself supreme in Bijapur had been discovered in the papers stolen by Tulsi Da [...] The remainder tell the story of Suraj-ud-Dowlah the tragedy of the Black Hole and the rise of the English power up to the time of Plessey. [...] The difficulties in this trade even led to the suggestion of the introduction of Chinese laundrymen to fill the gaps which the attractions of munition work had caused in the ranks of the women.
