cannot resist the
conviction that he has the type of mind that sees most easily what it
wishes to see. He moves cheerily along, incidentally raising
difficulties which he does not solve, ignoring conclusions which seem
obvious, throwing glorious generalisations and unharmonised
contradictions at the bewildered reader, too bent on his generous
purpose to glance aside for any explanations. Perhaps this is the best
method for an enthusiast to pursue. He certainly creates a vivid picture
of this strangely unknown allied people, with its incredible
otherworldliness, its broad tolerant charity, its freedom from chilly
conventions, its joyous neglect of the hustle and fussiness of Western
life, its deep faith, its childish or childlike superstitions, the
glorious promise of its future. An interesting--even a
fascinating--rather than a conclusive book.

the authorities have overlooked me. I'd like to join all right, but the
missus can't spare me. I'm a bit of a fisherman and I play the
concertina. Now, what sort of an armlet do I get?"]
