The Cairo Interlude
Cairo (Auberge du Muski, the Muski, Frank Quarter, Bulaq) → Giza → departing onto the Suez road
Wadi al Tih Murder

Rajan cleared and left in Abu Yusef's care. — Wadi_al_Tih caravanserai, Suez overland road

Kali Puja Date Identified
The ritual date established as midnight, 25 October 1814 — Kali Puja, the new moon. The party has a clock for the first time in the chapter, sixteen days out. Derived by a player rather than delivered by an NPC. Georgiana's transformation advanced again in the same scene, unwitnessed. — West House, Cavendish_Compound, Chowringhee, Calcutta
Landfall at Chandpal Ghat
The party landed in Bengal and entered the Company register. Holt departed the party and became an NPC. Pratap Singh was accepted as escort and fixer without challenge, and arranged porters, palanquins and lodging within the hour. The party chose the Cavendish estate over Company quarters. — Chandpal_Ghat, The_Strand, Calcutta
Ashworth Dinner Garden Reach
Ashworth named Devendra Ghosh a personal friend and one of the finest men he knows, and invited Adrien to break the journey to Chandernagore at Ghosh's house in Baranagar. The cult's leader now sits behind the Magistrate's own credit. Surlish snubbed the host by proxy; Freddy planted the seed of Cartwright's defection; Emma saved Georgiana's gloves from becoming a scandal. The dinner was interrupted mid-service on the first evening of play and finished on the second: the tiger hunt was extended and accepted, the Kali Puja aside was spoken, Hale volunteered the temple's night lights, and Ashworth told the story of how he met Ghosh. Ratan was beaten at the fires, the servants brawled at the carriages, and Georgiana announced the unconscious Cartwright to the whole company. — Garden_Reach, Calcutta
Compound Council 9 October
The party fixed its week: the Zorab sale Wednesday, Baranagar together on Thursday with a night's lodging before Adrien continues to Chandernagore. Freddy asked Pratap for a security detail on the compound within three days and told Hugh to think about getting his family out before the 25th. — Cavendish_Compound, Chowringhee
Ratan and the Spoons
Ratan was beaten within an inch of his life on Pratap Singh's order and sent back to his palanquin. No sahib was told. The burned-petition-box story is now Pratap's, and so is Ratan. — Garden_Reach, the servants' fires
Renwick Located at Baranagar
Renwick is stationed eight miles north of Calcutta at Baranagar, overseeing an embankment project on the Hooghly. He is not yet posted to the Gurkha campaign, but the window before reassignment is narrow. The party registered that Renwick's post and the Mandir Mahakali temple are the same village. — Fort_William, Calcutta
St Johns Churchyard Hour
The party was catalogued by Calcutta society in a single hour and met most of the season's principal players. Freddy made first contact with Surlish and got a sneer, a warning to audit his own cousin, and confirmation that the merchant fears nothing. Sophia Surlish was silenced in public in front of witnesses. Pratap Singh was solicited for a Company position by a Pelham servant, refused him, swung at him and missed, then bought him. — St_Johns_Church_Calcutta, Calcutta
St Johns Presentation
All five European investigators publicly named to the whole of Calcutta society in a single morning. Covers are now on the public record and untested. The party observed the Surlish marriage's power dynamic first-hand, and learned that Parliament is sending out a Bishop of Calcutta. — St_Johns_Church_Calcutta, White Town, Calcutta
Gazette Back Files Search
The party holds the missing-lascar notices, the Zorab inquest returns and sale catalogue, the letters debating Roy's observations, and the notice for The Ghat Mothers. Roy's own articles have been removed from the bound volumes. A clerk placed Roy at a garden house in Maniktala. — Calcutta_Gazette_Office
Hugh Cavendish Veranda Gathering
The Wentworth sisters met Baijnath Mullick and won an invitation to tour the syndicate's warehouses on Thursday. Captain Drury named Colonel Blackwood as the man to see about engineering postings. — Cavendish_Compound
Maidan Steeplechase and Tilts
The steeplechase ended in a heap. Thomas won the tilting after three rounds and opened the prize brandy for the crowd. Sophia Surlish rode against the party by name, in front of the garrison, and lingered over the brandy with Freddy. — The_Maidan, Calcutta
Pargeter Interview Clive Street
Pargeter admitted he moved the Wentworth capital out of the failing Nadia indigo into a godown syndicate on the Strand run by Baijnath Mullick, and that the remittances stopped because the balance is engaged in a reinvestment call. He agreed to write to Sir Nathaniel, and the sisters will carry the letter themselves. Georgiana noticed several other thin pigeonholes, all English family names. — Pargeter_and_Co, off Clive Street
The Third Course
Garden Reach → Chowringhee → the Maidan, the Strand and the Gazette office, Calcutta
Carriage Line at Government House
Two changed men in wet white cloth walked the carriage line, humming, and panicked the horses. Six carriage bodyguards beat them with sticks without effect; both walked into the river unhurt. — Government_House
Sutanuti Homecoming
Elizabeth Ashby went home to Sutanuti. Her mother relented into hospitality; her sister and uncle were unmoved. — Sutanuti
By Command of His Excellency
The Maidan and the Gazette office → the Cavendish compound → Government House, Calcutta
Breakfast Revelation 12 October
Freddy and the party told Hugh and Meg the truth, with their scars on show. Meg retired faint, Hugh panicked, Renwick agreed to help. The party split for the day: Freddy to Ashworth, the sisters and Thomas to the burial ground, Katherine, Elizabeth and Adrien to Roy, Pratap to Fort William. — Cavendish_Compound
Roy Garden House Consultation
Roy exposed Hawthorne Surlish as the man who silenced his 1811 Gazette letter and named him present in every later suppression. He described the temple's blessing and its victims, and gave the Register of the Thirty's figures aloud without naming the havildar or handing the Register over. — Roy_Garden_House
Zorab Sale
Lot 14 spoke in a dead man's voice before a bid was made. The room stampeded, Gregor Zorab ran with the cylinder, and the party took Dr Venn and gave chase. — Zorab_and_Sons_Godown
Samapti at Ghoshs Table
Ghosh unmade Kaunitz before the upriver party, showed his own arm, invited Georgiana to join, and let the party go as not worth killing — Ghosh_House
Surlish House Burglary
Katherine took Surlish's pocket-book and the docket of seven petitions from his study unseen — Surlish_House
Anglo Nepalese War
British victory at ruinous cost. Treaty of Sugauli — Nepal cedes Sikkim, Kumaon, Garhwal and the western Terai, accepts a Resident at Kathmandu, and the British begin recruiting Gurkhas into their own service. — The Nepal frontier — the Terai, Kumaon, Garhwal and the Sutlej hills. Commanded from Fort_William, Calcutta.
