Excerpt from From One Generation to Another
Those were troublesome times in India, for the Mn tiny was not quelled, and each mail took home a list of killed, slowly compiled from news that dribbled in from outlying stations, forts, and towns. Those were days when men's lives were made or lost in the Eastern Empire, for it seems to be in Fortune's balance that great danger weighs against great gain. N 0 great wealth has ever been acquired without proportionate risk of life or happiness. To the tame and timorous city clerk comes small remuneration and a nameless grave, while to more adventurous spirits larger stakes bring vaster rewards. The clerk, pure and simple, has, within these latter years, found his way to India, sitting side by side with the Baboo, and consequently it is as easy to make a fortune in London as in Calcutta and Madras. The clerk has carried his sordid civilization and his love of personal safety with him, sapping at the glorious uncertainty from which the early pioneers of a hardier commerce wrested quick-founded fortunes.
Seymour Michael had come into all this with the red coat of a soldier, and the keen, ambitious heart of a Jew, at the very nick of time. He saw at once the enormous possibilities hidden in the near future for a man who took this country at its proper value, hand ling what he secured with coolness and foresight. He knew that he only possessed one thing to risk, name ly, his life; and true to his racial instinct be valued this very highly, looking for an extortionate usury on his stake.
