"
The
poor
wretch
!
"
exclaimed
Passepartout
,
"
to
be
burned
alive
!
"
"
Yes
,
"
returned
Sir
Francis
,
"
burned
alive
.
And
,
if
she
were
not
,
you
can
not
conceive
what
treatment
she
would
be
obliged
to
submit
to
from
her
relatives
.
They
would
shave
off
her
hair
,
feed
her
on
a
scanty
allowance
of
rice
,
treat
her
with
contempt
;
she
would
be
looked
upon
as
an
unclean
creature
,
and
would
die
in
some
corner
,
like
a
scurvy
dog
.
The
prospect
of
so
frightful
an
existence
drives
these
poor
creatures
to
the
sacrifice
much
more
than
love
or
religious
fanaticism
.
Sometimes
,
however
,
the
sacrifice
is
really
voluntary
,
and
it
requires
the
active
interference
of
the
Government
to
prevent
it
.
Several
years
ago
,
when
I
was
living
at
Bombay
,
a
young
widow
asked
permission
of
the
governor
to
be
burned
along
with
her
husband
's
body
;
but
,
as
you
may
imagine
,
he
refused
.
The
woman
left
the
town
,
took
refuge
with
an
independent
rajah
,
and
there
carried
out
her
self-devoted
purpose
.
"
While
Sir
Francis
was
speaking
,
the
guide
shook
his
head
several
times
,
and
now
said
:
"
The
sacrifice
which
will
take
place
to-morrow
at
dawn
is
not
a
voluntary
one
.
"
"
How
do
you
know
?
"
"
Everybody
knows
about
this
affair
in
Bundelcund
.
"
"
But
the
wretched
creature
did
not
seem
to
be
making
any
resistance
,
"
observed
Sir
Francis
.
"
That
was
because
they
had
intoxicated
her
with
fumes
of
hemp
and
opium
.
"
"
But
where
are
they
taking
her
?
"
"
To
the
pagoda
of
Pillaji
,
two
miles
from
here
;
she
will
pass
the
night
there
.
"
"
And
the
sacrifice
will
take
place
--
"
