Khan Azam Khan's back was turned he muttered, to the peasants seated near by: 'My father was a sultan.And they laughed to see the Khan give a special twist to his mustache, as he walked away maintaining the valiant uprightness of the symbol of his ancient and noble family.Though he had become a pauper

This evokes laughter in the story "A PAIR OF MUSTACHIOUS" because Azam khan was not from the royal family he was just a pauper or a destitute person supported by public charity and he used to say that his father was the sultan of that land after putting giving a special twist to his moustaches showing that he is also from the royal family
