VI. THE VERANDA – RANCHI HILL STATION, INDIA – December 31, 1892, mid-afternoon. Miss Ingle enjoyed the rich fragrances that filled the air on this sunny afternoon in her garden near Ranchi. She had endured so much hardship and loneliness over the years, and memories had been stirred up recently by a letter from London. It was New Year’s Eve and time to make her decision about returning to London.
