Atma - A Romance

This covert allusion was not understood by the young Sikh, in whose

thoughts all men were valiant and all women fair and good. But he

experienced a shade of annoyance on learning that he must owe anything

to the good offices of Lal Singh. An echo seemed to sound faint and far

as in a dream; "Rajah Lal," it seemed to say, "means to pluck the Rose

of Lehna Singh's garden."
