Présentation de l'éditeur :
Winterfords were at breakfast, and Eileen -had not yet come down. It was late; but it always is late in I ndia, that is to say, in the households of men in any of the services, civil, mili tary, and forensic. The head of this one if it could be said to have a head, or if Barney Winterford could be said to be the head of anything had nothing more exigent on most days than the exercising of his saddle-horses to demand his early morning attention. He had not even been out for his usual gallop this time, but was sleepily assimilating a scolding, with his curry and rice, from his wife, Philippa. Philippa in other words, Lady Barney Winterford had rarely allowed herself to descend to the role of a fault-finder until lately, although she might have done so at any moment for seventeen years, with every excuse in life.
