Book Description

Excerpt from The Life and Opinions of Major-General Sir Charles Metcalfe Macgregor, K. C. B., C. S. I., C. I.e., Quartermaster-General in India, Vol. 2 of 2 He started from Bombay to Karachi by himself, in but poor spirits. No one to talk to, no one to get cranky with - all by myself none but my own sad thoughts to keep me company. For did I not know that the eye that used to look lighter on my coming, will never welcome me more? On the other side of this interminable waste of water there is only the grave of my happiness. In truth, I felt as if the very sap had been taken out of my future, that once was full of high ambition and bright hopes.
