The characters, the incidents, the little details, are all as natural as possible. Probably the picture is really composite; so many interesting figures, so many notable incidents, could hardly have been collected into so small a compass of time and space; but the arrangement has been very skilfully done. The second part of the volume, 'In the Cannon's Mouth' is an experience belonging to the first Afghan War'. Sarah TYtler was the pseudonym of Henrietta Keddie (1827-1914) a prolific Scottish author.
