To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I went to his bedside. He was a Punjabi Mohammedan and could talk a few words of English. Leaning a little out of bed he drew his hand across my shin- bone about six inches above the ankle, with a gesture horrible in its significance. "Froz-bite, " he said. "Operation. " " Better now ? " I asked. He rolled his head about, his eyes clouded with pain. " Leedly better now. One, two, three opera- tion. " I asked him when he would be going back to India. He didn't know. " My job horses. . . . India-...rubber leg. " I asked no more ; and he spoke to me of Ferozabad " in U. P. , " where he had lived, and Mhow where he had been quartered, and the ammunition column to which he had belonged. Did I know Amritsar ? Yes ; I knew Amritsar, and the Golden Temple, and the Holy Book. Amritsar was the home of the Sikh Gurus. Doubtless Lon'on would be the home of the Gurus of the Sahibs ? I would be a Guru from Lon'on ? Was it not so ? Clearly : for I had ioo THE BROWN MARE a beard. No Sahib had a beard unless he was a Guru.
