Then he removed his eye-glasses and twirled them thoughtfully around his finger as he addressed the young man opposite. \"I remember,\" said he, \"that when I attended school as a boy one of my chiefest trials in geography was to learn how to bound Baluchistan.\" \"Ah, do not say that, sir,\" exclaimed Prince Kasam, eagerly. \"It is a customary thing, whenever my country is mentioned, for an Englishman to refer to his geography. I have borne the slight with rare patience, Lord Marvale, since first I came, a boy, to London; but permit me to say that I expected you to be better informed.\" \"But, why?\" asked the nobleman, raising his brows at the retort. \"Because Baluchistan is a great country, sir. You might drop all of England upon one of its plains-and have some trouble to find it again.\" Lord Marvale's eyes twinkled. \"And how about London?\" he asked. \"You have many such cities, I suppose?\" \"There is but one London, my lord,\" answered the young man composedly; \"and, to be frank with you, there are few clusters of houses in my country that are worthy the name of cities. We Baluchi are a wild race, as yet untamed by the influence of your western civilization, and those who wander in desert and plain far exceed in numbers the dwellers in towns.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Schuyler Staunton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1979022607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781979022606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Schuyler Staunton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800740704511,"sku":"9781979022606","price":22.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/daughters-of-destiny-schuyler-staunton-9781979022606","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
