The Tiger of Mysore

CHAPTER 15: Escape
8/44

"Well, I will have a dress ready for you here.

You will find it in that corner, and there will be a bottle of stain on the table.

It will be only necessary for you to colour your neck, hands, and feet, but you must cut off your hair, behind, to a level with your ears, so that none of it will show below the turban.
You must do that, of course, before you stain your neck, and must stain the skin where you have cut off your hair, also.

I am giving you these instructions now, because when the time comes there may not be a minute to spare, though, of course, I hope there will be no desperate hurry." "I understand," she said, "and will look out for you, three times a day." "Of course," he went on, "if you are suddenly told that you are to be given to any one, you must slip out at once, and come here.

You will find everything ready for you to disguise yourself, and you must do that at once, and wait here till one of us comes.
