My Days
“It suited me, for the time being, since I had to be away too on business. Mysore was an excellent place to write in, but Madras was my market; I spent a month there and succeeded in selling the Tamil rights of The Dark Room to a serial publication, and managed a few other sales too.

I had also agreed to write features and talks for the All...
