memsahib

1 No, Sarah," the memsahib finally assured her, "you are very much alive and just to convince you I will scold you a little.

2 "Get my topi, boy, and order the gari quickly," the memsahib called to her bearer.

3 Directly she said this, the other memsahibs said, 'We also will die with our husbands,' and they all sat down each by her husband.

4 I can do the Sunday Times crossword, so long as the memsahib is at my side.

5 And then, because the little memsahib was a woman of such mighty spirit, they fell to work.

6 Her mother shook her head, but her father laughed and called her his little memsahib.

7 A rare survivor, Bournes, a family purveyor of “Irish turnips” and Clonakilty pudding, stands out among the curry shops like a memsahib in a harem.

8 "To do good acts so that you may be reincarnated as a heaven-born, a Brahmini, perhaps even come back as a memsahib."

9 The memsahib could do wonderful things, the man said, and without doubt would cure the sick woman.

10 They were brought back," testified a spy; "sixty sahibs, twenty-five memsahibs, and four children.

11 "In the dark you will pass for the memsahib," she urged.

12 More I do not know, but it appears that the memsahib has gone to her father and mother in Belaat, being very sorrowful because the Colonel-sahib has left her to shoot.'

13 The memsahib had said nothing all this time, had known nothing.

14 And then, in a changed voice, unconscious of the time and place, 'Tooni, what happened to the memsahib?' he asked.

15 The ayah saw her and put up a prayer that the memsahib might never find the love of her children taken away from her and given to a stranger.

16 The memsahib and the new god would surely save her.

17 And a few minutes later Jessa stood before a sweet-faced English woman, but so embarrassed by the memsahib's presence that she scarcely dared raise her eyes.

18 "May the memsahib never lack plenty from which to give!" he said, for there is no word for "Thank you" in all India.

19 There was nothing else to carry, and that was fortunate, for the cart in which the memsahib lay was too full of sick and wounded to hold anything more.

20 And would have, if the memsahib hadn’t shot me a glance that said, Dear, why don’t we move on from the heron?
