| | Old Deccan Days: VI. Little Surya Bai |
 | | Now, though Surya Bai did not know it, she had reached the Rakshas' country, and this old woman was none other than a wicked old Rakshas, who lived with her son in the little hut. |
 | | Now it came to pass that once, when Surya Bai was taking water from the well for the old Milk-woman, the Rajah rode by, and as he saw her walking along, he cried, 'That is my wife,' and rode after her as fast as possible. |
 | | Surya Bai, hearing a great clatter of horses' hoofs, was frightened, and ran home as quickly as she could, and hid herself; and when the Rajah reached the place there was only the old Milk-woman to be seen, standing at the door of her hut. |
