Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Bottle in the Smoke a Tale of Anglo-Indian Life
Hester's eye was charmed by the picture suddenly unfolded to her on the wide ?at lawn of the spreading compound, bordered by its glades of dense shrubberies intersected by winding walks. The mellow light of the late afternoon sun tinged all the landscape, turning to gold the graceful overhanging palms, revealing glimpses of the green waters of the tank which sparkled like jets of emerald, and etherealising the Indian garden for the first time to the eyes of all new comers.
