Atmâ
Publisher Description
The spacious abode of Lehna Singh had loveliness enough to veil the sordid character of the life that was lived within its walls. Atmâ had not been ignorant of his kinsman's wealth and importance but it is one thing to hear of wealth and to ponder in critical mood the fleeting nature of this world's weal and quite another to gaze with the eye on the marvellous results of human thrift. He wandered through lofty and spacious apartments whose marble arches seemed ever to reveal a fairer scene than had yet met his view. A mimic rivulet ran from room to room in an alabaster channel and the spray of perfumed fountains cooled the air.
