Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of Sonny Sahib
I'll pay, ' said the doctor shortly, and turned hurriedly to go. Other huts were crying out for him he could hear the voice of some of them through their mud partitions. As he passed out he caught a glimpse of himself in a little square looking-glass that hung on a nail on the wall, and it made him start ner vously and then smile grimly. He saw the face of a man who had not slept three hours in as many days and nights - a haggard, unshaven face, drawn as much with the pain of others as with its own weariness. His hair stood up in long tufts, his eyes had black circles under them. He wore neither coat nor waistcoat, and his regimental trousers were tied round the waist by a bit of rope. On the sleeve of his collarless shirt were three dark dry splashes; he noticed them as he raised his arm to put on his pith helmet. The words did not reach his lips, but his heart cried out within him for a boy of the 32nd.
