It was the Road which caused the trouble. It usually is the road. That and a reigning prince who was declared by his uncle secretly to have sold his country to the British, and a halfcrazed priest from out beyond the borders of Afghanistan, who sat on a slab of stone by the riverbank and preached a djehad. But above all it was the roadLinforths road. It came winding down from the passes, over slopes of shale it was built with wooden galleries along the precipitous sides of cliffs it snaked treacherously further and further across the rich valley of Chiltistan towards the Hindu Kush, until the people of that valley could endure it no longer. Then suddenly from Peshawur the wires began to flash their quiet and ominous messages.
