Excerpt from The Brethren of Mount Atlas: Being the First Part of an African Theosophical Story

"Do you know," said Gerald, the young man who spoke first, "that, fond as I am of shooting over these hills, I often feel a longing to go further afield for wilder and bigger game. I had a few days' chamois-hunting in Switzerland last year, and I must say that this bird-slaughter has seemed to me rather tame sport ever since."

"What a discontented chap you are, to be sure," said the second speaker; "tired of grousing already before the evening of the Twelfth!"

"On the contrary," returned Gerald, "I'm not tired of it at all. There's nothing I enjoy more; but that doesn't prevent my wanting to travel a bit. I've never been out of Europe yet. Will you fellows join me in a trip to South Africa? I should like to go up into the Kalahari Desert and get some lions. Or stay, let's all go to Cashmere. We should get some first-class shooting, and we might pass over into the unexplored parts of Thibet. The trip would suit Urquhart, as an occultist, down to the ground, as we should be sure to come across some of his friends the Mahatmas (that's the right word, isn't it?), trotting round in their astral bodies, and we might even reach the abode of the Thibetan Brothers themselves. What do you say to it, David?"

The individual addressed as David made no reply, but kept puffing away mechanically at his pipe, with his eyes fixed on the ground, as though absorbed in thought.

"Why don't you answer?"
