The English factory, which has long since dis- appeared, originally stood where the College now stands, and it was here that Governor Hedges stayed. It was a building of no pretensions, con- structed solely with a view to commercial useful- ness. The French factory lay a short distance away, on the site now occupied by the palace of the present Nawab of Dacca, while the Dutch factory 160 THE ROMANCE OF AN EASTERN CAPITAL stood close by on the river-bank, where the Mitford Hospital now stands. S...haista Khan was apparently living in a palace within the Lalbagh Fort, and it was there that Governor Hedges came to interview the great Viceroy and seek better terms for the Company he served. Shaista Khan, with typical diplomacy, was full of fair words and promises. No further countenance should be given to the Inter- lopers. Mussulman officials should no longer be allowed to oppress the traders, and the Company's servants should be forced to pay nothing beyond what was actually due. The meetings, held with all the Oriental love of stateliness and display, continued with growing satisfaction on Governor Hedges' side.
