As our boat gilded along close to the bank, I saw a holy man with Ganges mud smeared In a over his face, sitting cross-legge-d little temple and eating rice out of a brass bowl.

It was only then I noticed the shadows of the rowers and myself passing horizontally across the floor where he had been sitting. On another occasion, the very courteous English resident of the native state of Jaipur was taking me through the Jaipur model prison. When he came to inspect the kitchen arrangements, the Indian superintendent pointed out that one end was partitioned off so that the food of the high caste prisoners might be cooked apart from that of the others.
