‘It is wonderful to me how an English lady can go without fear or danger all about Batala, meeting with so much respect and courtesy. I do not feel it the slightest risk. Into narrow lanes, up dark staircases,--amongst women, amongst men,--I go without the smallest excuse for being alarmed. The people, too, generally listen very quietly, though what is said may be dead against their views. I make the slender concession of calling Muhammad “Mr. Muhammad”--“Muhammad Sahib”--but no one could object to so common a title. He is never called “Hasrat”--Saint--like Moses and David.’
