## A Pinch of Snuff **B.S.T.B.P.C. - 2020-21** 4. Who is the Zamindar in your locality? What do the people in your locality think about him? 5. How did Nanukaka impress Sohanlal Ratiram? What important information did he collect at Ratiram's place? 6. Who is a Prince? Do we have any prince now? If yes, do they enjoy the same privileges which they used to now? 60. We left the house soon after that. Nanukaka having again promised that he would write to "Old H.B." that very day. As we drove away, both Lalaji and his superior secretary were bowing to him from the porch. 61. Nanukaka was strangely silent that evening and went to bed soon after dinner, but in the morning, he was chirpy again. 62. "We are going to the Minister's house, this morning," he announced. 63. "Not me, please, Uncle," I appealed. 64. He inhaled some snuff before he spoke, and by that time he seemed to have forgotten what I had said. "This car of yours; too old, too small. We'll need something much more impressive. You noticed how that secretary treated us coldly at first. If we had gone in a bigger car, he would have been quite different." 65. "What about a taxi?" 66. "No; not a taxi. A private car, driven by a liveried chauffeur; the bigger the better." 67. I remembered that an acquaintance of mine has been trying to sell for some months an enormous, stately, outlandish car that would have only been built for a court procession. I told Nanukaka about it. 68. "That’s it! We'll take it out for a 'brief' trial, he suggested breezily. 69. “I am sure we could,” I said, “if we looked like genuine buyers. But do we? These motor-car touts can smell a rich man a mile off." 70. "You leave that to me," Nanukaka said. "You just leave the details to me." 71. "And what about this liveried chauffeur?" I asked. 72. "You, of course," Nanukaka said blandly. 73. He took out his cheque-book and wrote a cheque for a thousand rupees. He folded it neatly and put it into the inner pocket of an old coat of his. "Now call your dhobi," he told me. 74. I called the dhobi, and Uncle gave him the coat and took him outside and had a talk with him. Then we drove over to the Sikka Auto Dealers and Nanukaka asked if he could try out the car we had in mind. ## The Soldier **Rupert Brooke** **(1887- 1915)** was born in a well-to-do academic family.
