Colonel Bulstrode, who had been In the
Indian staff Corps, had retired the year
before my fathers death, and taken
this house. 1t was with him that went
to live. Richmond suited him, for he
could spend the day at his London club
and yet be home In plenty of time for
dinner.
"My uncle Anstruther was also an
Anglo-Indian. He had been for many
years a planter IN Celon. It was on
the Colonies advice that he took house
near US when he came home this spring.

Colonel Bulstrode expected me to

gagged for two weeks, and at last we de-

nothing to be gained by continued post
