The Alipur bungalow boasted a khansamah, or butler, who was able to furnish us with meals.
Fancy that little featherweight saying, "O khansamah jee" to my bloodthirsty Mir Khan!
If I had encouraged him the khansamah would have wandered all through Bengal with his corpse.
He readily assented, remarking that his khansamah should have orders to combine culinary operations with mine.
