"But why should he hate us, Doctor? he is none the worse off now than he was before we annexed the country." "Well, yes, that class of man is worse off. In the old days every noble and Zemindar kept up a little army for the purpose of fighting his neighbors, just as our Barons used to do in the happy olden times people talk of.
