Excerpt from Arundel But the day, though fatiguing to everybody else except the commander-in-chief, had been highly satisfactory. Twice had he complimented Colonel Fanshawe on the smartness Of his Pathan regiment, and since the regiment was one of the two institu tions for which the Colonel lived and loved, it followed that in retrospect his habitual content, which at all times was Of a very sterling quality, had been lifted to the levels Of the sublime. And anticipation was up to the level Of retrospect, for the second Of these institutions which engaged all his energies and affection was the home towards which he was now ambling along the dusty roads. In the imperturbable fashion Of a man who was not gifted with much imagination, he enjoyed what he had to the almost complete exclusion of desiring that which he had not and though, if a genuine wishing-cap had been put ready to his hand, he would certainly have had a request or two to make.
