Long as was the way for forty miles of jungle paths lay between Malpura and Ranga Duar the journey seemed all too short for Noreen. But it came to an end at last, and they arrived at the garden as the sun set and Kinchinjunga's fairy white towers and spires hung high in air for a space of time tantalisingly brief.
Kinchinjunga's peak was but fitfully visible, but in the between times it was vividly clear against the sky away up there in the blue dome more than 28,000 feet above sea level the loftiest land I had ever seen, by 12,000 feet or more. It was 45 miles away.

It was Wargrave's first introduction to a hill-station; and everything was a delightful novelty to him, from the quaint little train that brought them up the seven thousand feet to their destination in the pretty town of villas, clubs and hotels in the mountains, to the glorious panorama of the Eternal Snows and Kinchinjunga's lofty crests that rise like fairyland into the sky at early dawn and under the brilliant Indian moon.
