Описание: PRINCE KASAM OF BALUCHISTAN What country did you say, Prince? Baluchistan, my lord. The great financier lay back in his chair and a slight smile flickered over his stern features. 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 Marvales 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.
