Excerpt from The Day's Work, Vol. 1
HE least that Findlayson, of the Public Works Department, expected was a C. I. E he dreamed of a C. S. I.: indeed, his friends told him that he deserved more. For three years he had endured heat and cold, disappointment, discomfort, danger, and disease, with responsibility almost too heavy for one pair of shoulders; and day by day, through that time, the great Kashi Bridge over the Ganges had grown under his charge. Now, in less than three months, if all went well, his Excellency the Viceroy would open the bridge in state, an archbishop would bless *it, and the first trainload of soldiers would come over it, and there would be speeches.
