| My father is an Arab, my mother a Gujarati Khoja with a memsahib upbringing. |
| Morbid sort of fancy I call it, but I've got to do what the memsahib tells me. |
| Her mother shook her head, but her father laughed and called her his little memsahib. |
| But no memsahib came, and, next day, he went on to Simla cross-questioning the bearer every hour. |
| That includes Lady Eleanor, the memsahib with her elaborate gowns and regimented code of behavior. |
| In those days I rode seventy miles with an English memsahib and her babe on my saddle-bow. |
