AN INDIAN DAY BY EDWARD THOMPSON. Preface No living person is sketched in this story, and if anyone in India finds his name in it he must please accept my assurance that it is because I never heard of him. Indian 1 HE train jerked into another station, gave a few uncertain jolts, and stopped. For the last two hours it had dawdled along through jungle. Shrubs that rarely exceeded eight feet in height studded the inter stices between the taller sal woods, dumps of light green trees as stately as flagstaffs and as unstooping, islands against whose shores the waves of coppice washed unendingly. Over the crest of this bushy sea ran a delicate grey spume, the new winter leaves of a creeper seen separately, these were white, like poin settia in shape and contrast to their green setting, with an effect as of millions of butterflies perched and with wings still fanning from flight. Simuls, massively buttressed with the triple thrust of their mighty roots into the soil, towered beside pools. Where the red earth cracked into long fissures, snaky, writhing dhak trees clustered, their glistening, black boughs bare except for a ragged handful of rumpled leaves. An other month, and these crowded clefts would be plumaged deep with their spring glory of ruddy blossom the flowers a Mogul Emperor thought so lovely that a man might never weary of gazing on them Date-palms, tamarinds, mangoes, bamboo 4 An Indian Day copses fringed the occasional hamlet or the outlying fields of some settlement It was all monotonously and unendingly beautiful, Hamar thought, and peacefulness took possession of him in that fresh spring air. He was glad of every thing glad to have left Suriganj, glad to be going to Vishnugram.What was this station What was the time Past noon it could not be much further now. Suryakonda three stations more. As he stood by the window, a flood of sweetness swept against him, from a mango grove in flower. Peacefulness quickened into ecstasy as he held his face full in the tide of that invisible fragrance. He was going to Vishnugram Vishnugram A rotten hole. They havent got a club, theres an Indian collector, during half the year you cant get a four at bridge. Good shooting, though jungles, plenty of bears, snipe, and that sort of thing. Suriganj had been the best station in Bengali if you have to be out of Calcutta there had been a club, with abundance of drinks and enough men and women to make as many sets at bridge and tennis as you wanted. Within comparatively easy reach had been that sine qua non of British bliss, things to kill. But he had been glad to get away, in spite of all this. It had not only been the unhappy finish of his term there, his whole stay had been a disappointment. We must digress, and explain this. The War had made the trouble, or at any rate had brought it out. It had come when Vincent Hamar was new to the service, and he was therefore among the few who had been allowed to take commissions in the Indian Army Reserve of Officers. A mixed horde, of every An Indian Day station in life, missionaries, engineers, shop assistants, planters, Civil Servants like himself, had been at tached to a regular regiment for training, and had spent three months in the Khurree hills The regulars treated these New Army men, so-called officers and gentlemen to quote one of the ready-made phrases which fitted and expressed their stereotyped scorn and wit with open contempt.Then and for three years more the War was not taken seriously in India we should run up to Baghdad presently, and in Europe finance, if nothing else, would send the German mob scuttling back. Meanwhile, the educational chance was not to be missed the proletariat might be taught their place, and some of them even given a veneer of manners.
