WHIRLPOOL OF SHADOWS
Description
Nrasituddin Raider, the Nawab of Awadh, had always had prob1ems with his hair. Whatever he did it contrived to remain as flat 'and straight as ever, like the fringe of a silken tapestry. When an English barber turned up at court and, offered to curl 'the royal locks, the King opened his heart to him. Before long the Englishman became not only his barber but (as is the way with hairdressers) his confidant and friend. Now, what the barber wanted was wealth and power, so, when he fell out with the. King's favourite wife, he saw a way to use his influence to good effect. Knowing the King's weakness for all things British, he decided to replace the queen with a choice of his own. In this way, a beautiful young Englishwoman found herself the consort of an Indian king.
