Explore "Rung Ho!" by Talbot Mundy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Against all fear; against the weight of what, / For lack of worse name, men miscall the Law; / Against the Tyranny of Creed; against the hot, / Foul Greed of Priest, and Superstition's Maw; / Against all man-made Shackles, and a man-made Hell-- / Alone--At last--Unaided-- / I REBEL!
No single, individual circumstance, but a chain of happenings in very quick succession, brought about a climax, forcing the hand of Howrah and his brother and for the moment drawing the McCleans, father and daughter, into the toothed wheel of Indian action. As usual in India, the usual brought about the unexpected, and the unexpected fitted strangely into the complex, mysteriously worked-out whole.
