Jal Singh's orphanage, where it took months to wean her even slightly from her savage ways. She fiercely tore off the clothes they sewed on her. She bit and clawed when they tried to bathe her. She put her mouth down into her dishes of food, not understanding the use of her hands save as weapons. In time she learned something of their use and acquired a few human words.

When the master heard that his former hero had taken the imperial crown, he tore off the dedication with a volley of curses on the renegade and tyrant; and in later years he dedicated the immortal work to the 'memory' of a great...
