over by a younger man, of whom the
older practitioner had a small opin-

Presently. in the hearing Of mo-

the lawyer, being deaf. didn't hear

Swept on by a fervor OF anxiety on

up and bore him down the silent road
that winds between the Strand and
the rivers edge, then whipped into
Mogul street, where the fluent tide
of life ran broad and deep beneath a
glare of light.
Al too quickly the tikka whisked
out of the main channel of the city's
life, out beyond the Mohammedan
mosque and the Chetti's hall and the
Christian chapel, and into the soft,
dense night of the countryside-a
world of darkness sparsely studded with
dim, glowing windows; and all too

highway into private drive, crunched
over gravel and stopped before the
illuminated veranda OF a native bun

driver and ascended the steps. a little
