Excerpt from Between the Twilights: Being Studies of Indian, Women by One of ThemselvesYes, the manner of its loitering is varied, but always, always, is it an hour of enchant ment, this hour Between the Twilights: and it is my very own. I choose it, from out the day's full sheaf, and I sit with it in the Silences on my roof-tree.It was in this hour, through a hot summer, that the thoughts which make this little book came to me, and were written down. I had spent my days going in and out among my friends of the Zenana, and a great yearning was in my heart that others should know them as I did, in their simplicity and their wisdom.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
