And if we would study them we must not confine ourselves to a tour of a few cities in North India, interesting as these cities are. The significant economic fact in India is not the millions of dollars once spent on royal palaces but the $7 to $30 spent in building this average peasant's home or hut.
Excitement, and thought, and joy, seem to come at once at its bidding; and the chequered and struggling existence of adult men seems something which it need never enter, and hardly deigns to comprehend. Wordsworth and his friend encountered on this tour many a stirring symbol of the expectancy that was running through the nations of Europe.
I wished them at the devil; but I was still more surprised when the landlord made a low bow, saying, "Happy to see you returned, Mr Newland; you've been away some time another grand tour, I presume."
