Two upper berths can be let down in case of a crowd. At the end of each compartment is a small toilet-room. It was unexpectedly chilly at night, and Twining and I were glad to roll ourselves up in as many rugs and "resais" as we could persuade the ladies to leave to us. A big deal case which we unpacked at Srinagar proved to contain a "life-sized" work-table.
We had arranged to sleep in a carriage drawn into a siding at the station, to avoid a very early start next morning. So after dinner we strolled down towards our bedroom to find our henchman on the platform, full of zeal and energy. So he departed, and we rolled ourselves up in our "resais," and wondered how it would all turn out.
It being Sunday, the banks were closed, but a kindly shopman cashed me a cheque for twenty pounds in the most confiding manner, and enabled us to get the few odds and ends we wanted before going up country among them a couple of "resais" or quilted cotton wraps and a sola topee for Jane.
