[The Adventures of Kathlyn by Harold MacGrath]@TWC D-Link bookThe Adventures of Kathlyn CHAPTER XXII 20/29
He was like the country boy who had gone to the big city; he never more could be satisfied with the farm. The baboon hung about the colonel's heels as a dog might have done; while Kathlyn had found a tiger cub for a plaything.

Never should he enter this part of India again.
Life was too short. High and low they hunted Umballa, but without success.
He was hidden well.
