"He's her father, and I'd kneel down, like the little boys in the streets, and clean his boots, if he wanted them cleaned, because he is her father," thought the young man; "and yet, somehow or other, I can't get on with him." No! between the Anglo-Indian banker and Sir Philip Jocelyn there was no sympathy.

The action of Lieutenant Charteris became a public scandal, focussing Anglo-Indian attention on Granthistan to a highly undesirable extent.
Her husband is a horrible stuck-up bore of an Anglo-Indian, thinks himself everybody, and tells the most awful howlers. Rose that's the daughter is by way of being very beautiful. There she goes now; see? That golden-haired girl in red! She's another of your beastly star skaters. I'll bet she'll have that big bounder cutting capers with her before the day's out."
