Golconda

Golconda was reached on the evening of the following day—four hundred and seventy-eight miles from San Francisco.

The marquis did not reply; he was overwhelmed by what he beheld; it seemed to him that he saw the treasures of Golconda.

For, of course, when one hears of Golconda one is bound to think it good, failing evidence to the contrary.

Mr. Camperdown assured him that no diamonds more real had ever come from Golconda, or passed through Mr. Garnett's hands.

Then followed the visit to Golconda and its tombs of wax-like Jaypur marble, with their arabesqued cupolas and lacery in stone.
