Title: Afterthought House
Description: The house was added onto many times, hence its name. Humphrey Mainwaring was also an afterthought. The way in which he grew to be a companion to his father—a stern, middle-aged, Indian general—is well told; and the advent of the two young American cousins adds some life to the scenes depicted. The breaking of the reservoir wall gives an opportunity for deeds of heroism.
