Excerpt from The Soldier of the Valley

Was a soldier. I was a hero. You notice my tenses are past. I am a simple school teacher now, a prisoner in Black Log. There are no bars to my keep, only the wall of moun tains that make the valley; and look at them on a clear day, when sunshine and shadow play over their green slopes, when the clouds all white and gold swing lazily in the blue above them, and they speak of freedom and of life im measurable. There are no chains to my prison, no steel cuffs to gall the limbs, no guards to threaten and cow me. Yet here I stay year after year. Here I was born and here I shall die.

I am a traveller. In my mind I have gone the world over, and those wanderings have been unhampered by the limitations of mere time, for I know my India of the First Century as we.
