Through India and Burmah with pen and brush

A. Hugh Fisher

Sinossi

Down came the rain, sudden, heavy and terrible, seeming to quell even the sea's rage and whelming those defenceless hundreds of dark-skinned voyagers in new and more dreadful misery.
Terrors were upon them, and in abject wretchedness and hopeless struggle men, women and children spread every strip of their belongings over their bodies and even used for shelter the very mats upon which they had been lying.
What trouble a Hindoo will take to keep his body from the rain! Extremely cleanly and fond of unlimited ablutions he yet detests nothing so much as a wetting from the sky, and now, wholly at the mercy of the elements, do what they would, no human ingenuity availed to keep these wretched people dry.

Christopher Hodapp

Unearth the fascinating history of how the Freemasons and Founding Fathers sowed the seeds of a new nation amid the collapse of the British colonies.

•Puzzling pentagrams and symbolism in city streets 
 
•The mysterious temples of the “Widow’s Sons”

Leave It to Psmith [Classic...

P. G. Wodehouse

Psmith (the “P” is silent) has been invited to Blandings Castle. But the conditions under which he received his invitation are suspect. Probably because he is a suspect. ¶Doddering old Lord Emsworth has, indeed, extended an invitation for Psmith to come stay. However, his Lordship was under the impression that the sharp and attentive Psmith was in fact, the irascible poet Ralston McTodd. ¶But the quick-witted and resourceful Psmith knows a good thing when he sees one, and immediately puts several plans in motion. True, one of which does include the purloining of Lady Constance’s jewels, but another concerns a certain lady whom Psmith saw standing in the rain earlier, and felt obliged to present with an umbrella. Never mind that the umbrella wasn’t his.
