water carrier

She repeated the brief phrases, as well as she could recall them, to a Eurasian whom she found acting as a water-carrier.

He had been a bheestee (water carrier) to the house of Ramabai up to the young banker's incarceration.

He saw the water carrier enter through the bamboo gate, heard the water slosh about jerkily as the bheestee emptied his goatskin.

I even put the water-carrier upon asking about the neighbourhood; but no such name as Courson was ever heard of!

She had made up the amount with money drawn from every source, even from her poor miserable water-carrier.
