Says this lady : " The city of Lucknow, excepting the LUCKNOW IN NAWABI TIMES 199 Nawab's palaces, is neither so large nor so splendid as that of Benares ; his premises are of course superb, and his stud exceeded both in quality and number that of any other potentate. His table, to which aU the English of any rank were welcome, had in every respect the appear- ance of a nobleman's in England, and no nobleman of any country could possess greater suavity of manners or more generous politeness. At... the time I am speaking of he was about fifty years of age ; his figure tall, athletic and commanding, with features expressive and rather handsome, his complexion by no means dark for a native, and his eyes a fine hazel. On his table were always three distinct dinners, one at the upper end by an English cook ; at the lower end by a French cook ; and in the centre (where he always sat), by a Hindostanee cook.
" Hog-meat, wine and turkeys being forbidden by the prophet Mahomed, he allowed himself the latitude of seeking substitutes : accordingly a bottle of cherry brandy was placed on the table by him, from which he pledged his European guests, and called it English syrup ; while the hams on his table (which all came from England) he called English venison, and therefore ate with impunity.
