Excerpt from The Fall of Ulysses: An Elephant Story
Elephant a more expensive luxury than I cared to possess. My agent, the half breed, had the reputation of knowing more than any man in Madras about the habits and characteristics of elephants and the means by which they could be most successfully trained. For some time he had been in charge of the yards where the animals owned by the British government were prepared for service in war or road building. Before setting out for my bungalow, Ithought best to consult with Jerry, who spoke English perfectly, as to the course of education to which I proposed treating Ulysses.
