Excerpt from The Suttee of Safa: A Hindoo Romance Eastern sky. Upon the kine in a hundred ih ner courts and upon the men and women, sleeping out of doors, fell the refreshing coolness of the dawn. The ripening fruit hung heavily from the weighted branches of the trees and the silvery dew sparkled upon the freshly Opened ¿owers in the palace garden. The serving folk within the marble house of the King were already astir. An elephant, cruelly torn by a tiger in the last beast fight, trumpeted with pain. The Persian pussies of the Zenana pestered the girl who fed them, for milk warm from the cow. An army of sweepers and water-carriers dwarfed nightmare creatures of the half-light.
