The opening
CHAPTER I 4 LOVE’S LABOUR LOST ’ ?
4 LOVE’S LABOUR LOST ’?
MR. Chamberlain had come to get a gift of 35 million pounds from South Africa, and to win the hearts of Englishmen and Boers. So he gave a cold shoulder to the Indian deputation.
4 You know,’ he said, 4 that the Imperial Government has little control over self-governing Colonies. Your grievances seem to be genuine. I shall do what I can, but you must try your best to placate the Europeans, if you wish to live in their midst.’
The reply cast a chill over the members of the deputation. I was also disappointed. It was an eye-opener for us all and I saw that we should start with our work de novo. I explained the situation to my colleagues.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
