Officers
,
"
replied
the
guide
,
"
I
am
a
Parsee
,
and
this
woman
is
a
Parsee
.
Command
me
as
you
will
.
"
"
Excellent
!
"
said
Mr.
Fogg
.
"
However
,
"
resumed
the
guide
,
"
it
is
certain
,
not
only
that
we
shall
risk
our
lives
,
but
horrible
tortures
,
if
we
are
taken
.
"
"
That
is
foreseen
,
"
replied
Mr.
Fogg
.
"
I
think
we
must
wait
till
night
before
acting
.
"
"
I
think
so
,
"
said
the
guide
.
The
worthy
Indian
then
gave
some
account
of
the
victim
,
who
,
he
said
,
was
a
celebrated
beauty
of
the
Parsee
race
,
and
the
daughter
of
a
wealthy
Bombay
merchant
.
She
had
received
a
thoroughly
English
education
in
that
city
,
and
,
from
her
manners
and
intelligence
,
would
be
thought
an
European
.
Her
name
was
Aouda
.
Left
an
orphan
,
she
was
married
against
her
will
to
the
old
rajah
of
Bundelcund
;
and
,
knowing
the
fate
that
awaited
her
,
she
escaped
,
was
retaken
,
and
devoted
by
the
rajah
's
relatives
,
who
had
an
interest
in
her
death
,
to
the
sacrifice
from
which
it
seemed
she
could
not
escape
.
The
Parsee
's
narrative
only
confirmed
Mr.
Fogg
and
his
companions
in
their
generous
design
.
It
was
decided
that
the
guide
should
direct
the
elephant
towards
the
pagoda
of
Pillaji
,
which
he
accordingly
approached
as
quickly
as
possible
.
They
halted
,
half
an
hour
afterwards
,
in
a
copse
,
some
five
hundred
feet
from
the
pagoda
,
where
they
were
well
concealed
;
but
they
could
hear
the
groans
and
cries
of
the
fakirs
distinctly
.
They
then
discussed
the
means
of
getting
at
the
victim
.
The
guide
was
familiar
with
the
pagoda
of
Pillaji
,
in
which
,
as
he
declared
,
the
young
woman
was
imprisoned
.
Could
they
enter
any
of
its
doors
while
the
whole
party
of
Indians
was
plunged
in
a
drunken
sleep
,
or
was
it
safer
to
attempt
to
make
a
hole
in
the
walls
?
This
could
only
be
determined
at
the
moment
and
the
place
themselves
;
but
it
was
certain
that
the
abduction
must
be
made
that
night
,
and
not
when
,
at
break
of
day
,
the
victim
was
led
to
her
funeral
pyre
.
Then
no
human
intervention
could
save
her
.
As
soon
as
night
fell
,
about
six
o'clock
,
they
decided
to
make
a
reconnaissance
around
the
pagoda
.
The
cries
of
the
fakirs
were
just
ceasing
;
the
Indians
were
in
the
act
of
plunging
themselves
into
the
drunkenness
caused
by
liquid
opium
mingled
with
hemp
,
and
it
might
be
possible
to
slip
between
them
to
the
temple
itself
.
