Excerpt from India of to-Day I propose, therefore, to commence by a short description of the tour actually undertaken by my Wife and myself. Unavoidably short though it be, the mere description may serve to present some picture of the profound diversity and infinite variety which divide region from region, race from race, throughout the countries which we group under the collective name of India. I well remember the day when we arrived at Bombay in the early morning, and drove out to the delightful suburb of Malabar Hill, where I was received with hearty cordiality by my cousin Mrs. Donald Graham and her husband, who occupied a charming house in this most breezy and healthy locality. It was indeed a day to remember, that first drive in India, and greatly were we impressed by the brilliant colouring which we passed through, everything, including the bright hues of the natives' dress, being lit up and made more vivid by the resplendent sunshine.
