I am dying for you, and you are dying for another. / Punjabi Proverb.
When the Gravesend tender left the P. & O. steamer for Bombay and went back to catch the train to Town, there were many people in it crying. But the one who wept most, and most openly was Miss Agnes Laiter. She had reason to cry, because the only man she ever loved -- or ever could love, so she said -- was going out to India; and India, as every one knows, is divided equally between jungle, tigers, cobras, cholera, and sepoys.
