Incredibly, the very same Major Meredith is on the same ship — and after a series of awkward misunderstandings an intense mutual dislike develops between them, so Orissa is glad to be free of him when they disembark at Delhi.
She is thrilled to be back in India where she was brought up and relishes again everything that she has remembered and loved about the country.
But to her dismay her Uncle Henry has left for a Fort on the North-West Frontier where he is battling against hostile tribes and their sinister backers, the Russians.

    "It would be wiser, Mrs. Lane, if you kept your favours to your own class and to your own colour!” - Outright racism in a BC novel instead of the little jabs of condescension Cartland usually injects into her novels depicting other colours...

    As she spoke, there was a little smile on her lips. It was such a relief to be here with her brother that now everything that had happened seemed almost amusing rather than tragic.
