[No. 2, 
How am I high 
and mighty ? There is no 
pride in me, my lady. That 
is the way you talk. Well, 
A, are your people at home 
all right ? Well, B, you too 
seem to be quite well. Why 
do you keep quarrelling at 
home ? What have you tied 
up in your bundle ? 
A. — Good. If there are a few odds 
and ends in B’s bundle, what 
is it to you ? Don’t chaff with 
him too much, or his mother 
will abuse you. (I’ll take my 
oath) by my father (to it). 
I wouldn’t tell a lie. 
D. — Wah ! Why are you swear- 
ing by your father ? What 
chaff am I giving ? For all 
that, 1 know (lit. as if I do 
not know that) his bundle 
holds parched grain and gram. 
What else (should it be) ? 
B. — Look, my fellow, she’s talking 
of parched grain and gram. 
It’s sweetmeats that are in 
my bundle. I have just 
bought two duds worth. I have 
just bought twenty cowries 
worth of muri for Babd, and 
I’ll have the sweetmeats for 
the way to-morrow. I always 
feel unwell in that village. 
But what can 1 do ? I have 
to go. There are some things 
to bring, 
C. — 0 dear. The devil take your 
sweetmeats.* Well, A, so

you. 
Lit. May your sweetmeats do you good, — sarcastically, much good may they do
