Harry writes from India, with all sorts of gossip from Simla, and many longings for home; a neighbour calls, and the Indian letter gives matter for pleasant half-melancholy chat.

The society of Jack and Molly and the motor car could make up for many things, but it could not stifle longings for the Little Pal.
