Carlyon Sahib: A Drama in Four Acts

by Gilbert Murray

Yes, it would be a grand undertaking. But upon my word your recklessness is infectious. I give notice, "All recent remarks are against my better judgment."

Adene.

I'm so grateful for your encouragement, I don't mind what has brought it about.

Carlyon.

I don't encourage you. The best I hope for is that they will only cut off your ears. Bear witness, Dr. Rheinhardt, have I encouraged him?

Adene.

Yes, hasn't he?

Rheinhardt.

I comprehend this way his position. Primo, you cannot get into Bhojâl; secundo, you can never come again out; tertio, there is nothing to be learned there; conclusion, you had better try it!
