The Light Above the Cross Roads (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Light Above the Cross Roads Sir Henry Janover, K.C.I.E., Governor of the Province of Barapore, sat looking down his long dining-table, idly crumbling his bread with his strong fingers. The scene before him held none of the charm of novelty. The great table with its masses of silver and flowers, the shaded lights, the semi-royal livery of the numerous servants, the chatter of the guests which stormed and rose above the music of the band, were all wearily familiar to him. He knew that the formula represented "pleasure," and "pleasure" is a necessary part of the life of a high official. It also represented entertainment, and Sir Henry made no effort to supplement the already lavish arrangements made for his guests' satisfaction, by any personal attempt to join in the noise of the many voices. There was no weakness in Sir Henry Janover, his strength had the defiance of a challenge and his pride was reserved and still. Iron grey hair grew thickly on his well-shaped head, and his eyes were startlingly blue, and cold as glacier ice, his dark blue coat with its velvet collar and gold buttons fitted his broad shoulders faultlessly, and his order showed finely, increasing the air of distinctiveness that actively claimed his right to be intensely himself.
