Excerpt from Confessions of a Thug, Vol. 2 of 3 Long did we sit thus - Sahib, I know not how long - the hours fled like moments. Look! Cried Zora, look at that mighty gathering in the street below us they are now lighting the torches, and the procession of the N51 Sahib will presently come forth. I had not observed it, though I had heard the hum of voices; the gloom Of the street had hitherto prevented my distinguishing anything; but as torch after torch was lighted and raised aloft on immense poles, the sea Of human heads revealed itself. There were thousands. The street was SO packed from side to Side, that to move was impossible; the mass was closely wedged together, and we waited impatiently for the time when it should be put in motion, to make the tour of the city.
