But I didn’t know before how many English there were in India till I got there and saw.I asked Aunt Mary, and she said England had to watch her step in India but I didn’t know until later what she meant.What a place! It was a mixture of clean and dirty, of parlors and cowsheds—a lot of cowsheds. For it seemed these round-shouldered cows were sacred, sort of, and they got treated better than anybody. Nobody could drive ’em or housebreak ’em. It sure showed me what Aunt Mary meant about what England had to watch.In India there were many poor people and a lot of very rich people. I saw people carry things that I didn’t think a mule would be able to.My butterflies all went crazy and never stopped fluttering hardly a minute in any of the Indian cities I was in. They were only quiet when we got to the country where the prince and his papa and his brother all lived.But first we went to Calcutta.The prince and Mr. Bosco went off somewhere as soon as we got there, I guess to the bank of the little old London lady.
