CHRONICLES OF DUSTYPORE

A TALE OF
MODERN ANGLO-INDIAN SOCIETY

H. S. CUNNINGHAM

TO
R. H. W.

You promised me once that, if ever the 'Chronicles of Dustypore' shaped themselves into being, they might be dedicated to you. While writing them my thoughts have often turned to happy hours passed in your society, and pleasant scenes witnessed beneath your roof. If the story has profited thereby, and Felicia has borrowed whatever charms she may possess from those remembered scenes and hours, forgive me, and let me lay the portrait, with all its imperfections, at your feet.

H. S. C.
