I had not, it seems, the originality to chalk out a new road to shame and destruction, but trode the old track with stupid exactness not to deviate an inch from the beaten centre.
Lord Somerville, speaking of what breeders have done for sheep, says: " It would seem as if they had chalked out upon a wall a form perfect in itself, and then had given it existence" .
But all the same I must not swerve from the path I have chalked out. It would never do to abandon the cause of the country, especially at the present time. I shall simply make Bimala one with my country.
