came
the
musicians
and
a
rearguard
of
capering
fakirs
,
whose
cries
sometimes
drowned
the
noise
of
the
instruments
;
these
closed
the
procession
.
Sir
Francis
watched
the
procession
with
a
sad
countenance
,
and
,
turning
to
the
guide
,
said
,
"
A
suttee
.
"
The
Parsee
nodded
,
and
put
his
finger
to
his
lips
.
The
procession
slowly
wound
under
the
trees
,
and
soon
its
last
ranks
disappeared
in
the
depths
of
the
wood
.
The
songs
gradually
died
away
;
occasionally
cries
were
heard
in
the
distance
,
until
at
last
all
was
silence
again
.
Phileas
Fogg
had
heard
what
Sir
Francis
said
,
and
,
as
soon
as
the
procession
had
disappeared
,
asked
:
"
What
is
a
suttee
?
"
"
A
suttee
,
"
returned
the
general
,
"
is
a
human
sacrifice
,
but
a
voluntary
one
.
The
woman
you
have
just
seen
will
be
burned
to-morrow
at
the
dawn
of
day
.
"
"
Oh
,
the
scoundrels
!
"
cried
Passepartout
,
who
could
not
repress
his
indignation
.
"
And
the
corpse
?
"
asked
Mr.
Fogg
.
"
Is
that
of
the
prince
,
her
husband
,
"
said
the
guide
;
"
an
independent
rajah
of
Bundelcund
.
"
"
Is
it
possible
,
"
resumed
Phileas
Fogg
,
his
voice
betraying
not
the
least
emotion
,
"
that
these
barbarous
customs
still
exist
in
India
,
and
that
the
English
have
been
unable
to
put
a
stop
to
them
?
"
"
These
sacrifices
do
not
occur
in
the
larger
portion
of
India
,
"
replied
Sir
Francis
;
"
but
we
have
no
power
over
these
savage
territories
,
and
especially
here
in
Bundelcund
.
The
whole
district
north
of
the
Vindhias
is
the
theatre
of
incessant
murders
and
pillage
.
"
