From Bombay, Bangalore, Madras and Calcutta, Philip will inspect everything from ancient cave sculptures to an atomic energy plant. But one of his unstated missions was something else: to find out just what sort of reception his wife would get should she come to India...

But hardly had the warehouse started to operate when it had to shut down for nearly two months to straighten out its affairs after...
