A few years back umbrellas of every imaginable size and shape and colour and degree of disreputability were in evidence in the streets of Poona City. There was a favourite umbrella with wooden ribs, covered with a kind of oilcloth, red or yellow in colour, which was a cheap and useful article. But in these modern days of growing luxury such umbrellas are despised.
When questioned, the yogi told them where they would find the merchant; he was stopping with a friend in Poona. So the two set off, and the Bagrees prepared for their journey. For the ordeal a cannon ball was needed and a blacksmith to heat it. And as Hunsa had been the father of the scheme, Sookdee declared that he must procure these from the Mahratta camp. Hunsa agreed to this.
The most noteworthy example of this is a long insect, so precisely similar to a bit of dry stick that, until you actually see it walk, you can hardly believe that it can be anything else. Butterflies, in the Poona district at any rate, are disappointing. They are larger than the English ones the scale of most things in India is big but their colours are not strikingly brilliant.
"It's bad news, Miss Mary." "Your Brother Died This Evening." Her heart stopped, staggered and went on again. "Poona" Mark "Your Brother Died This Evening. "This evening" was yesterday. Mark had died yesterday. Her heart stopped again. She had a sudden feeling of suffocation and sickness. Her mind left off following the sprawl of the thick grey-black letters on the livid pink form.
The movement died down for a time after the murder of two British officials in Poona on the night of Queen Victoria's second jubilee in 1897 and the sentencing of Tilak himself shortly afterwards to a term of imprisonment on a charge of seditious and inflammatory writing.
Scindia accepted the money, but still remained in the neighbourhood of Poona. These matters were not concluded until months after Harry left for Bombay. On arriving there he called upon the Governor, to report the release of Nana Furnuwees. "I received Colonel Palmer's last report, four days ago.
By her, the meanings of all life were sharpened jungle and jungle-beast, monster, saint and man the breath of all life more keen. Hand-of-a-God Skag and Carlin had come back from Poona where five of Carlin's seven brothers had been present at her marriage. There were weeks in Hurda now, while Skag's equipment for jungle work arrived bit by bit.
Smaller carriages followed till you come down to victorias with perhaps just one syce. Then the Poona Horse, beautifully mounted, in dark blue, red, and gold, with drawn swords rode past at a very quick trot, now and then breaking into a canter with a fine jingle and dust that made almost the best part of the show. I can't say I enjoy this damp warm weather here.
The Poona river, swollen to a torrent in the rains, and for the rest of the year reduced to a small stream, meandering along a stony and rocky bed, is not suited to the habits of a crocodile, and there are none. The brilliance of fire-flies is quite beyond the description usually found in books.
The great distances that separate the main stations in Mesopotamia, and the long sea voyage between Basra and Bombay, threw a considerable strain on that part of the army that sits in offices and deals with army forms. At Poona the supreme headquarters of the campaign resided amid the clear breezes of the Indian hills.
