There was a river to be forded, and four bullocks pulled the carriage, and Vixen stuck her head out of the sliding-door and nearly fell into the water while she gave directions. Garin was silent and curious, and rather needed reassuring about Stanley and Kasauli. So we rolled, barking and yelping, into Kalka for lunch, and Garm ate enough for two.
Vixen had gone up to the Hills with me five times before; and she appreciated the cold and the damp and the beautiful wood fires there as much as I did. "Garm," I said, "we are going back to Stanley at Kasauli. Kasauli Stanley; Stanley Kasauli." And I repeated it twenty times. It was not Kasauli really, but another place.
He ate his food, and he killed his rats for the next three weeks, and when he began to whine I had only to say "Stanley Kasauli; Kasauli Stanley," to wake him up. I wish I had thought of it before. My chief came back, all brown with living in the open air, and very angry at finding it so hot in the plains.
I'm goin' away don't 'owl I'm goin' off to Kasauli, where I won't see you no more." I could hear him holding Garm's nose as the dog threw it up to the stars. "You'll stay here an' be'ave, an' an' I'll go away an' try to be'ave, an' I don't know 'ow to leave you. I don't know " "I think this is damn silly," said the officer, patting his foolish fubsy old retriever.
That summer the invalids of the regiment to which my friend belonged were ordered off to the Hills early, because the doctors thought marching in the cool of the day would do them good. Their route lay south to a place called Umballa, a hundred and twenty miles or more. Then they would turn east and march up into the hills to Kasauli or Dugshai or Subathoo.
