GUEST OF THE \6T' 'HUSSABLS 5 



We left thick clouds of dust behind us as we passed 

 on our way, enveloped in a burning heat. Rawal 

 Pindi in May ! It is probably the hottest place in 

 India at this time of the year, perhaps even the 

 hottest in the world ! 



What a noise ! The whip cracked, the horn 

 sounded, the cart rattled, the wheels wobbled, the 

 luggage flew about, the horses' hoofs thundered on. 

 The pace got wilder and wilder, and every minute 

 the heat became more dry and scorching as we rushed 

 on our way towards the Happy Valley. 



How few ever reach it behind the high and steep 

 mountains of Life, often so much higher and steeper 

 than the giants of the Himalayas which surround the 

 fertile valley of Cashmere !
