CHAPTER I Spring in Kashmir offers to weary humanity as true a spectacle of the Divine in Nature as can well be imagined or desired, and on this particular April morning no fairer spot could be found than the region immediately surrounding the bungalow leased by Lewis Clievedon of the Indian Political and shared vicariously by his two friends, Mayhew, a Captain of Engineers, and Gilbert Lavel of the Indian Medical. The bungalow stood back from the Gulmarg Road, its garden a riot of colour and scent, its front windows facing across a wide grass slope sprinkled with fruit trees in blossom that dropped to the noisy river some hundred feet below ; while behind it the forest rose steeply like delicate green spray tossed in the air. Above the spring foliage came the darker green of pines growing in serried ranks along the rockier higher slopes, then even the pines ceased and the snow began, leagues of diamond-shining whiteness rising in unmeasured heights against a sky of dazzling blue.
