I began to imagine all sorts of things. Sabu was unhappy too. I heard a sob from the Sabu has his depths of a verandah chair. He had had no sugar in his Troubles coffee (our stores happened to be low). The cook had been unkind to him. (Poor cook!) And he ouched and writhed in bitterness of spirit as I applied iodine where an old scab was a little broken. Gone was all his yesterday's aplomb. Sabu was just a lonely, homesick, heartsick little boy. At about four-thirty we went out along the road in Jungle the car.

There is the never-ending wonder of the sheer numbers of the droves and droves of cattle, and goats as delicate as deer, with pointed horns and delicate hoofs that patter along the road like rain. They pour out from the jungle where they have been grazing all day. The herd girls and boys, mere children, stare out of big eyes and tousled heads. They dare the jungle and the jungle roads, I suppose, because there are so many of them. The same with the slow procession of the bullock carts, never-ending day and night. 55
