...news sent a shudder of horror through India. Indian newspapers called it "a calamity."

Cody. Even the reader who knows one thing less about the horse than the sad English lady, who knew only two,* will concede that Author Don Russell, an encyclopedist by profession, has contrived a creditable and perhaps definitive biography from a mass of flapdoodle and dime-novel apocrypha.
