This was our common fare, and it was all that was allowed us, to allay the cravings of hunger, and support nature for the whole of the following day: for it is to be observed, that this was the Mahomedan Lent, and as the Moors keep the fast with a religious strictness, they thought it proper to compel me, though a Christian, to a similar observance.
Nowhere else is there such a medley of peoples of every grade of development, from the almost savage Bhil to the cultivated and high-bred Brahmin or Rajput or Mahomedan chief.
Journeying blindly half way across the world, this man had found his quarry. "I never wear false whiskers," went on O'Higgins.

I was so much impressed with the prevalence of this form of fatalism that I wrote and asked him for his opinion. This is his answer:
