On a Shelving bank of dry sand baby Akbar sitting up and rubbing his eyes
 in The Adventures of Akbar

Prince Askurry ... strode ... into the tent
 in The Adventures of Akbar

The child had slipped it onto his little forefinger
 in The Adventures of Akbar

So they both touched the cold marble floor with their warm little foreheads
 in The Adventures of Akbar

 in The Adventures of Akbar

And one day the door did open. . . My son—my little son.
 in The Adventures of Akbar

Ladies! unveil!
