Excerpt from Errant a Life-Story of Latter-Day Chivalry, Vol. 1 of 3 "A man's comprehension of India don't always answer to the length of his service here. It is possible for a man to be out twenty years, and know less than he knew when he landed as a griffin - having only unlearnt the wholesome consciousness of his own ignorance. Colonels who have spent half a lifetime here don't know the very alphabet of Sepoy thought: there are Members of Council about as well acquainted with Native character and Native interests as - the present or late President of the Board of Control; and merchants who go home with a fortune earned by a quarter of a century's trading in Bombay, who understand as much of Native commerce as they do of cotton-growing.
