To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His friend Denny s says of Nicholson : "In general he was reserved almost to moroseness in those davs, and I was one of the very few who were in any way intimate with him. . . . Fear of any kind seemed unknown to him, and one could see there was a great depth behind his reserved and almost boorish manner." Indeed, Nicholson had tasted of sorrow very early. It was on 20th April, when on his way to Multan, that John Nicholson met his young brother, Charles, whom he had last seen at the age of ten.... Of course neither of them recognised the other : " I actually talked to him half an hour before I could persuade myself of his identity. He is as tall, if not taller than I am. . . . Our joy at meeting you will under- stand, mother, without my attempting to describe it to you." There seems to have been a tragic fatality about the meetings of poor Mrs. Nicholson's sons — the lady who gave four sons to die for her country, John, Charles, William, and Alexander — for when Charles and John met at Delhi, they were both wounded, both lay side by side in the hospital tent, and exchanged the last words.
