Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Among the Gods, Scenes of India: With Legends by the Way
IT is a cold and melancholy November morning in the year 1891. London never was smokier or smuttier in all its dingy life. A drizzling rain comes down unceasingly from the low and colourless sky, and the gloom of a chill and clinging fog is in the ends of the muddy streets. On a shadowy platform in Charing Cross Station, hard by the train for Dover, stand a father and his three daughters and his daughters' Welsh maid, an English family, saith a critic of their former travels, Whether real or fictitious we know not. This is really too bad! Pray, Mr Critic, how would you like to have it insinuated that you were a figment of your own imagination?
