The Subadar, a Sikh, I think, had almost the only Indian face I have seen so far that I liked big, potent, and with the appearance of a sportsman and gentleman. The doctor was of rather an opposite type, though clever-looking, and spoke a little English.

A smallish, clever-looking fellow across the room said: "You're a punk introducer, Amy.
