The younger generation does not want instruction, being perfectly willing to instruct if any one will listen to it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rickett of Kamartha stayed with Polder of Kumaon some fifteen years ago. He meant to stay two nights, but was knocked down by rheumatic fever, and for six weeks disorganized Polder's establishment, stopped Polder's work, and nearly died in Polder's bedroom. Polder behaves as though he had been placed under eternal obligation by Rickett, and yearly sends the little Ricketts a box of presents and toys. It is the same everywhere. The men who do not take the trouble to conceal from you their opinion that you are an incompetent ass, and the women who blacken your character and misunderstand your wife's amusements, will work themselves to the bone in your behalf if you fall sick or into serious trouble.Heatherlegh, the Doctor, kept, in addition to his regular practice, a hospital on his private account-an arrangement of loose boxes for Incurables, his friend called it-but it was really a sort of fitting-up shed for craft that had been damaged by stress of weather. The weather in India is often sultry, and since the tale of bricks is always a fixed quantity, and the only liberty allowed is permission to work overtime and get no thanks, men occasionally break down and become as mixed as the metaphors in this sentence.Heatherlegh is the dearest doctor that ever was, and his invariable prescription to all his patients is, "lie low, go slow, and keep cool." He says that more men are killed by overwork than the importance of this world justifies. He maintains that overwork slew Pansay, who died under his hands about three years ago. He has, of course, the right to speak authoritatively, and he laughs at my theory that there was a crack in Pansay's head and a little bit of the Dark World came through and pressed him to death. "Pansay went off the handle," says Heatherlegh, "after the stimulus of long leave at Home. He may or he may not have behaved like a blackguard to Mrs. Keith-Wessington. My notion is that the work of the Katabundi Settlement ran him off his legs, and that he took to brooding and making much of an ordinary P. & O. flirtation. He certainly was engaged to Miss Mannering, and she certainly broke off the engagement. Then he took a feverish chill and all that nonsense about ghosts developed. Overwork started his illness, kept it alight, and killed him poor devil. Write him off to the System-one man to take the work of two and a half men."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Phantom 'Rickshaw, and Other Ghost Stories by Rudyard Kipling After an affair with Mrs. Agnes Keith-Wessington in Simla, the narrator, Jack, disowns her and finally becomes engaged to Miss Kitty Mannering. However, Mrs. Wessington continually reappears in Jack's life, begging him to reconsider, insisting that it was all just a mistake. But Jack wants nothing to do with her and continues to despise her. Finally, Mrs. Wessington dies, much to Jack's relief. However, sometime later she sees her old rickshaw and assumes that someone has bought it. Then, to her amazement, the rickshaw and the men pulling it pass through a horse, revealing themselves as ghosts, carrying the late ghost of Mrs. Wessington. This leads to increasingly erratic behavior that Jack tries to cover up by inventing increasingly elaborate lies to assuage Kitty's suspicions. Finally, Dr. Heatherlegh welcomes him, assuming that the visions are the result of illness or insanity. Despite her efforts, Kitty and her family become increasingly suspicious and eventually cancel the engagement. Jack loses hope and begins to wander the city aimlessly, accompanied by the ghost of Mrs. Wessington.

Book excerpt: A collection of five short stories; The Phantom 'Rickshaw; My Own True Ghost Story; The Strange Ride Of Morrowbie Jukes; The Man Who Would Be King; and, 'The Finest Story In The World'. "One of the few advantages that India has over England is a great Knowability. After five years' service a man is directly or indirectly acquainted with the two or three hundred Civilians in his Province, all the Messes of ten or twelve Regiments and Batteries, and some fifteen hundred other people of the non-official caste. In ten years his knowledge should be doubled, and at the end of twenty he knows, or knows something about, every Englishman in the Empire, and may travel anywhere and everywhere without paying hotel-bills. Globe-trotters who expect entertainment as a right, have, even within my memory, blunted this open-heartedness, but none the less to-day, if you belong to the Inner Circle and are neither a Bear nor a Black Sheep, all houses are open to you, and our small world is very, very kind and helpful."
