"With hostilities having ceased for now, the sepoys and officers were seen loitering around the vanquished capital. Some of the sepoys of the allied armies tried to make communication with their Mysorean counterparts, who spoke the same language or were of the same caste. But they were rebuffed, and one of them is alleged to have snapped: ‘It is my orders not to speak to you; and I am besides, not inclined to talk to people who come like thieves in the night, and attack the enemy when unprepared for their defence!’"
