The Keeper of the Door

CHAPTER IX
14/29

It's a small State in the very middle of the Empire.

There are rivers and jungles and tigers and snakes--quite a lot of snakes; a decent little capital and a hill-station, healthy enough though not very high.

The natives are exactly like monkeys.

I learnt to speak their lingo one winter from a villainous bearer I had when some of us were stationed there.

There is a small native garrison in cantonments at the capital.
