And to India.
In India Paula saw strange things.
She saw the Hindoos bathing in the sacred Ganges.
She saw the Parsees exposing their dead to the vultures.
And she saw fakirs making mango trees grow out of seeds before one’s very eyes.
And in India Paula heard strange things, too.
She heard of strange lives.
And of strange deaths.
And she heard of the Rajah of Raboda who owned the finest pearls in the world.
He was said to have pearl necklaces yards long.
