ABSTRACT
And then we wandered into another corner of the palace, rst skirting the enormous, towering fort — the incomprehended prison of the Maharaja’s dista relatives — whom none, of my sex, may see — to feast our eyes upon his miniatures and costly furniture. en driving through a guard at the palace gates, and making our way across the crowded square beyond, we nally drew up at the Patiala hospital — a most up-to-date institution, with all the latest appliances for surgery, medicine and bacteriology. Having examined the wards and various X-ray photographs, and passed through the di erent operating-rooms, we drove o to the Mohindra College and back to the Premier’s house, a er a most interesting and highly instructive a ernoon.
