Perhaps it accounts for the marvellous way in which the Great Emperor Akbar ruled his Hindoo subjects.
Humayon had expected to return in a month's time, but luck was against him.

A King cannot waste a whole year in amusement and so let wicked men have time to hatch plots without suffering for it.

And Humayon did suffer.

He had to march and counter-march with winter coming on apace, until he was struck down by sudden illness.

At first the news caused no alarm, for he was known to be strong and healthy; but there came a day when folk began to whisper that the King was said to be lying unconscious, that death might come any moment.
The news stirred the whole city of Kabul to its depths.
