'In fact,' Hyder Khan said, 'it makes up for all the rest. You are the slaves of your women, and we are the masters of ours.' I said that if I could get into their zenana we should hear another version. ‘Oh no,’ he said, ‘you could hear nothing, because our wives could not speak unless we gave leave; and if they did we should beat them.

I said it must be their own cleverness. ‘No,’ the Jewish nephew said; ‘they were very Clever, and that as Allah made them so, it was all right; but still He had made Englishmen very clever too, and how they who could invent ships, and guns, and steamers, &c., could not invent a way by which they could be masters of their own wives he could not understand.’ My drawing is a very pretty one, and they are pleased with their own likenesses.
